Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS : Hibernate vulnerability (USN-6845-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 200878

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6845-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Hibernate incorrectly handled certain inputs with unsanitized literals. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected libhibernate3-java package.
