Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6636-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing certain OLE2 files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-20290)

 Amit Schendel discovered that the ClamAV ClamD service incorrectly handled the VirusEvent feature. An attacker able to connect to ClamD could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2024-20328)

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.
