high Nessus Plugin ID 166109

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5675-1 advisory.

 Isaac Boukris and Andrew Bartlett discovered that Heimdal's KDC was not properly performing checksum algorithm verifications in the S4U2Self extension module. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack and request S4U2Self tickets for any user known by the application.
 This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-16860)

 It was discovered that Heimdal was not properly handling the verification of key exchanges when an anonymous PKINIT was being used. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a machine-in-the- middle attack and expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-12098)

 Joseph Sutton discovered that Heimdal was not properly handling memory management operations when dealing with TGS-REQ tickets that were missing information. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-3671)

 Micha Kpie discovered that Heimdal was not properly handling logical conditions that related to memory management operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
 (CVE-2022-3116)

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
