Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7141-1 advisory.

It was discovered that oFono incorrectly handled decoding SMS messages leading to a stack overflow. A remote attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2794, CVE-2023-4233, CVE-2023-4234)

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