medium Nessus Plugin ID 266307

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7780-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Qt did not correctly handle certain inputs when using the SQL ODBC driver plugin.
 An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-24607)

 It was discovered that Qt did not correctly parse certain strict-transport- security headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to leak sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-32762)

 It was discovered that Qt did not correctly handle certain inputs from DNS servers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-33285)

 It was discovered that Qt did not correctly validate certain CA certificates for TLS. An attacker could possibly use this issue to gain access to unauthorized resources. (CVE-2023-34410)

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
