Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6566-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled certain protection mechanisms when using a CLI script with the --safe option, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
 (CVE-2022-46908)

 It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled certain memory operations in the sessions extension. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause SQLite to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
