Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS : tgt vulnerability (USN-8325-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 317473

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8325-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that tgt incorrectly tried to achieve entropy by calling rand without srand. An attacker could possibly use this issue to make tgt generate an identical sequence of challenges, resulting in authentication bypass.

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 tgt, tgt-glusterfs and / or tgt-rbd packages.
