The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5733-1 advisory.
It was discovered that FLAC was not properly performing memory management operations, which could result in a memory leak. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause FLAC to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
(CVE-2017-6888)
It was discovered that FLAC was not properly performing bounds checking operations when decoding data. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or to cause FLAC to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-0499)
It was discovered that FLAC was not properly performing bounds checking operations when encoding data. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or to cause FLAC to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2021-0561)
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.
