Synopsis
An application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Oracle VM VirtualBox running on the remote host is 5.2.x prior to 5.2.24 or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the January 2018 Critical Patch Update advisory :- A denial of service vulnerability in the bundled third-party component OpenSSL library's DSA signature algorithm that renders it vulnerable to a timing side channel attack. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to recover the private key.
(CVE-2018-0734)
- Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Core component of Oracle VirtualBox could allow an authenticated, local attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. (CVE-2018-3309, CVE-2019-2500, CVE-2019-2520, CVE-2019-2521, CVE-2019-2522, CVE-2019-2523, CVE-2019-2524, CVE-2019-2526, CVE-2019-2548, CVE-2019-2552)
- Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Core component of Oracle VirtualBox could allow an authenticated, local attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to potentially expose critical or confidential data.
(CVE-2019-2446, CVE-2019-2448, CVE-2019-2450, CVE-2019-2451, CVE-2019-2501, CVE-2019-2504, CVE-2019-2505, CVE-2019-2506, CVE-2019-2525, CVE-2019-2553, CVE-2019-2554, CVE-2019-2555, CVE-2019-2556)
- Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the Core component of Oracle VirtualBox could allow an authenticated, local attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2019-2508, CVE-2019-2509, CVE-2019-2527)
- An denial of service vulnerabilities with the SOAP protocol in the Core component of Oracle VirtualBox could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker, to potentially a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2019-2511)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to Oracle VM VirtualBox version 5.2.24, 6.0.2 or later as referenced in the January 2019 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.See Also
