Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 : .NET vulnerabilities (USN-6480-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 185778

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6480-1 advisory.

 Barry Dorrans discovered that .NET did not properly implement certain security features for Blazor server forms. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass validation, which could trigger unintended actions. (CVE-2023-36558)

 Piotr Bazydlo discovered that .NET did not properly handle untrusted URIs provided to System.Net.WebRequest.Create. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary commands to backend FTP servers. (CVE-2023-36049)

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.
