Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7723-1 advisory.

 Michael Imfeld discovered that UDisks did not check the validity of input data correctly when handling files for loop devices. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

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