Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : Cacti vulnerability (USN-7226-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 214544

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7226-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Cacti did not properly sanitize the 'poller_id' parameter in the remote_agent.php file. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to achieve remote code execution.

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 cacti package.
