Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5290-1 advisory.

 James Isaac and Mathias Brodala discovered that Symfony incorrectly handled switch users functionality. An attacker could possibly use this issue to enumerate users. (CVE-2021-21424)

 It was discovered that Symfony incorrectly handled certain specially crafted CSV files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 ESM.
 (CVE-2021-41270)

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.
