Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7057-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that WEBrick incorrectly handled having both a Content- Length header and a Transfer- Encoding header. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a HTTP request smuggling attack.
