Ubuntu 16.04 LTS : Ampache vulnerabilities (USN-4693-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 145011

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4693-1 advisory.

 - An issue was discovered in Ampache through 3.9.1. The search engine is affected by a SQL Injection, so any user able to perform lib/class/search.class.php searches (even guest users) can dump any data contained in the database (sessions, hashed passwords, etc.). This may lead to a full compromise of admin accounts, when combined with the weak password generator algorithm used in the lostpassword functionality.
 (CVE-2019-12385)

 - An issue was discovered in Ampache through 3.9.1. A stored XSS exists in the localplay.php LocalPlay add instance functionality. The injected code is reflected in the instances menu. This vulnerability can be abused to force an admin to create a new privileged user whose credentials are known by the attacker.
 (CVE-2019-12386)

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 ampache and / or ampache-common packages.
