The remote Ubuntu 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-6910-1 advisory.
Chess Hazlett discovered that Apache ActiveMQ incorrectly handled certain commands. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to terminate the program, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-7559)
Peter Stckli discovered that Apache ActiveMQ incorrectly handled hostname verification. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a person-in-the-middle attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-11775)
Jonathan Gallimore and Colm higeartaigh discovered that Apache ActiveMQ incorrectly handled authentication in certain functions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a person- in-the-middle attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
(CVE-2020-13920)
Gregor Tudan discovered that Apache ActiveMQ incorrectly handled LDAP authentication. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to acquire unauthenticated access. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-26117)
It was discovered that Apache ActiveMQ incorrectly handled authentication. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to run arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-41678)
It was discovered that Apache ActiveMQ incorrectly handled deserialization. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to run arbitrary shell commands. (CVE-2023-46604)
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.
