Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6825-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that the PDO driver in ADOdb was incorrectly handling string quotes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to

 perform SQL injection attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-7405)

 It was discovered that ADOdb was incorrectly handling GET parameters in

 test.php. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute

 cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu
