medium Nessus Plugin ID 261425

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7732-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that KMail Account Wizard used HTTP rather than HTTPS when retrieving certain email server configurations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause email clients to use an attacker-controlled email server.

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
