Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : Net-SNMP vulnerabilities (USN-5543-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 163680

Language:

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-5543-1 advisory.

 Yu Zhang and Nanyu Zhong discovered that Net-SNMP incorrectly handled memory operations when processing certain requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Net-SNMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

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

Update the affected packages.
