Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6274-1 advisory.

 Jurien de Jong discovered that XMLTooling did not properly handle certain KeyInfo element content within an XML signature. An attacker could possibly use this issue to achieve server-side request forgery.

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.
