Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : Dogtag PKI vulnerabilities (USN-7146-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 212215

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7146-1 advisory.

 Christina Fu discovered that Dogtag PKI accidentally enabled a mock authentication plugin by default. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to bypass the regular authentication process and trick the CA server into issuing certificates. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-7537)

 It was discovered that Dogtag PKI did not properly sanitize user input. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform cross site scripting and obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-25715)

 It was discovered that the XML parser did not properly handle entity expansion. A remote attacker could potentially retrieve the content of arbitrary files by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-2414)

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
