medium Nessus Plugin ID 49791

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The cluster logical volume manager daemon (clvmd) in LVM2 did not correctly validate credentials. A local user could use this flaw to manipulate logical volumes without root privileges and cause a denial of service in the cluster.

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.
