Synopsis

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8768-1 advisory.

 Florian Stuhlmann discovered that Shibboleth incorrectly escaped input when using the ODBC storage plugin.
 A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform SQL injection attacks and obtain sensitive information.
