medium Nessus Plugin ID 66691

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

It was discovered that KIO would sometimes display web authentication credentials under certain error conditions. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted web page, an attacker could potentially exploit this to expose confidential information.

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 libkio5 package.
