Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6566-2 advisory.

 USN-6566-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in SQLite. This update provides the corresponding fix for CVE-2023-7104 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

 Original advisory details:

 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.

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.
