critical Nessus Plugin ID 189088

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 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6559-1 advisory.

It was discovered that ZooKeeper incorrectly handled authorization for the getACL() command. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-0201)

Damien Diederen discovered that ZooKeeper incorrectly handled authorization if SASL Quorum Peer authentication is enabled. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass ZooKeeper's authorization system. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 23.04 and Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2023-44981)

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.
