medium Nessus Plugin ID 21377

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Stefano Di Paola discovered an information leak in the login packet parser. By sending a specially crafted malformed login packet, a remote attacker could exploit this to read a random piece of memory, which could potentially reveal sensitive data. (CVE-2006-1516)

Stefano Di Paola also found a similar information leak in the parser for the COM_TABLE_DUMP request. (CVE-2006-1517).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
