The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6837-2 advisory.
It was discovered that Rack incorrectly parsed certain media types. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Rack to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-25126)
It was discovered that Rack incorrectly handled certain Range headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Rack to create
large responses, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-26141)
It was discovered that Rack incorrectly handled certain crafted headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Rack to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-26146)
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.
