The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5626-1 advisory.
By flooding the target resolver with queries exploiting this flaw an attacker can significantly impair the resolver’s performance, effectively denying legitimate clients access to the DNS resolution service.
(CVE-2022-2795)
The underlying bug might cause read past end of the buffer and either read memory it should not read, or crash the process. (CVE-2022-2881)
An attacker can leverage this flaw to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. Upon restart the attacker would have to begin again, but nevertheless there is the potential to deny service. (CVE-2022-2906)
By sending specific queries to the resolver, an attacker can cause named to crash. (CVE-2022-3080)
By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. (CVE-2022-38177)
By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed EdDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. (CVE-2022-38178)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
