Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : Cinder vulnerability (USN-5835-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 170910

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5835-1 advisory.

 Guillaume Espanel, Pierre Libeau, Arnaud Morin, and Damien Rannou discovered that Cinder incorrectly handled VMDK image processing. An authenticated attacker could possibly supply a specially crafted VMDK flat image and obtain arbitrary files from the server containing sensitive information.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
