Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5171-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Long Range ZIP incorrectly handled certain specially crafted lrz files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (crash) or other unspecified impact.

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.

Solution
