Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 : ReadyMedia vulnerabilities (USN-6398-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 181945

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6398-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that ReadyMedia was vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to trick the local DLNA server to leak information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-26505)

 It was discovered that ReadyMedia incorrectly handled certain HTTP requests using chunked transport encoding. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause buffer overflows, resulting in out-of- bounds reads and writes. (CVE-2023-33476)

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 minidlna package.
