Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6914-1 advisory.

Filip Hejsek discovered that the phpCAS library included in OCS Inventory was using HTTP headers to determine the service URL used to validate tickets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to gain access to a victim's account.

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