Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5463-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that NTFS-3G incorrectly handled the ntfsck tool. If a user or automated system were tricked into using ntfsck on a specially crafted disk image, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-46790)

 Roman Fiedler discovered that NTFS-3G incorrectly handled certain return codes. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to intercept protocol traffic between FUSE and the kernel. (CVE-2022-30783)

 It was discovered that NTFS-3G incorrectly handled certain NTFS disk images. If a user or automated system were tricked into mounting a specially crafted disk image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-30784, CVE-2022-30786, CVE-2022-30788, CVE-2022-30789)

 Roman Fiedler discovered that NTFS-3G incorrectly handled certain file handles. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to read and write arbitrary memory. (CVE-2022-30785, CVE-2022-30787)
