Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4257-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly handled exceptions during deserialization in BeanContextSupport. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact. (CVE-2020-2583)

 It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly validated properties of SASL messages included in Kerberos GSSAPI. An unauthenticated remote attacker with network access via Kerberos could possibly use this issue to insert, modify or obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2020-2590)

 It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly validated URLs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to insert, edit or obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2020-2593)

 It was discovered that OpenJDK Security component still used MD5 algorithm. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2020-2601)

 It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly handled the application of serialization filters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass the intended filter during serialization. (CVE-2020-2604)

 Bo Zhang and Long Kuan discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly handled X.509 certificates. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-2654)

 Bengt Jonsson, Juraj Somorovsky, Kostis Sagonas, Paul Fiterau Brostean and Robert Merget discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly handled CertificateVerify TLS handshake messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to insert, edit or obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected OpenJDK 11.
 (CVE-2020-2655)

 It was discovered that OpenJDK incorrectly enforced the limit of datagram sockets that can be created by a code running within a Java sandbox. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass the sandbox restrictions causing a denial of service. This issue only affected OpenJDK 8. (CVE-2020-2659)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
