Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7216-1 advisory.

It was discovered that tqdm did not properly sanitize non-boolean CLI Arguments. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code on the host. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-34062)
