The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4213-1 advisory.

Jeriko One and Kristoffer Danielsson discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain URN requests. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass access checks and access restricted servers. This     issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 19.04 and Ubuntu 19.10. (CVE-2019-12523)

Jeriko One discovered that Squid incorrectly handed URN responses. A remote attacker could use this issue     to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2019-12526)

Alex Rousskov discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain strings. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu     19.04. (CVE-2019-12854)

Jeriko One and Kristoffer Danielsson discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain input. A remote     attacker could use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly     execute arbitrary code. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 19.04 and Ubuntu 19.10. (CVE-2019-18676)

Kristoffer Danielsson discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain messages. This issue could result     in traffic being redirected to origins it should not be delivered to. (CVE-2019-18677)

Rgis Leroy discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain HTTP request headers. A remote attacker     could use this to smuggle HTTP requests and corrupt caches with arbitrary content. (CVE-2019-18678)

David Fifield discovered that Squid incorrectly handled HTTP Digest Authentication. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to obtain pointer contents and bypass ASLR protections. (CVE-2019-18679)

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.
