Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 : Go Networking vulnerability (USN-7197-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 213717

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

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 a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7197-1 advisory.

 Guido Vranken discovered that Go Networking handled input to the Parse functions inefficiently. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause denial of service. This update addresses the issue in the golang-golang-x-net and golang-golang-x-net-dev packages, as well as the library vendored within adsys and juju-core.

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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
