critical Nessus Plugin ID 183546

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4774-1 advisory.

 Toshiaki Maki discovered that Spring Framework incorrectly handled certain XML files. A remote attacker could exploit this with a crafted XML file to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-3192)

 Alvaro Muoz discovered that Spring Framework incorrectly handled certain URLs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a reflected file download. (CVE-2015-5211)

 It was discovered that Spring Framework did not properly sanitize path inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to read arbitrary files, resulting in a directory traversal attack (CVE-2016-9878)

 It was discovered that Spring Framework incorrectly handled XML documents. An attacker could possibly use this issue to generate an XML external entity attack, resulting in a denial of service, disclosure of information or other unspecified impact. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.

 (CVE-2014-0225)

 It was discovered that Spring Framework incorrectly handled certain URLs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to read arbitrary files,

 resulting in a directory traversal attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2014-3625, CVE-2014-3578)

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.
