high Nessus Plugin ID 150809

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4989-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that BlueZ incorrectly checked certain permissions when pairing. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to impersonate devices. (CVE-2020-26558)

 Jay LV discovered that BlueZ incorrectly handled redundant disconnect MGMT events. A local attacker could use this issue to cause BlueZ to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-27153)

 Ziming Zhang discovered that BlueZ incorrectly handled certain array indexes. A local attacker could use this issue to cause BlueZ to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.10. (CVE-2021-3588)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
