high Nessus Plugin ID 240195

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7577-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that libblockdev incorrectly handled mount options when resizing certain filesystems. A local attacker with an active session on the console can use this issue to escalate their privileges to root.

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

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 packages.
