The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4518-1 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in LinuxTV xawtv before 3.107. The function dev_open() in v4l-conf.c does not perform sufficient checks to prevent an unprivileged caller of the program from opening unintended filesystem paths. This allows a local attacker with access to the v4l-conf setuid-root program to test for the existence of arbitrary files and to trigger an open on arbitrary files with mode O_RDWR. To achieve this, relative path components need to be added to the device path, as demonstrated by a v4l-conf -c /dev/…/root/.bash_history command. (CVE-2020-13696)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
