Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : Ceph vulnerabilities (USN-6063-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 175537

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-6063-1 advisory.

Mark Kirkwood discovered that Ceph incorrectly handled certain key lengths. An attacker could possibly use this issue to create non-random encryption keys. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-3979)

It was discovered that Ceph incorrectly handled the volumes plugin. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain access to any share. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-0670)

It was discovered that Ceph incorrectly handled crash dumps. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges to root. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-3650)

It was discovered that Ceph incorrectly handled URL processing on RGW backends. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause RGW to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-3854)

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.
