Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8154-1 advisory.

 Seokchan Yoon discovered that Django incorrectly handled copying memory when parsing multipart uploads with excessive whitespace. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2026-33033)

 It was discovered that Django did not enforce an upload memory size limit in the Content-Length header. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 25.10. (CVE-2026-33034)

 Tarek Nakkouch discovered that Django incorrectly handled underscores in the ASGI headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof HTTP headers. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 25.10. (CVE-2026-3902)

 It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled verification of model data created with POST requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to forge new model permissions. (CVE-2026-4277, CVE-2026-4292)

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
