The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4621-1 advisory.

  • Integer overflow in the stralloc_readyplus function in qmail, when running on 64 bit platforms with a large amount of virtual memory, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large SMTP request. (CVE-2005-1513)

  • commands.c in qmail, when running on 64 bit platforms with a large amount of virtual memory, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long SMTP command without a space character, which causes an array to be referenced with a negative index. (CVE-2005-1514)

  • Integer signedness error in the qmail_put and substdio_put functions in qmail, when running on 64 bit platforms with a large amount of virtual memory, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large number of SMTP RCPT TO commands. (CVE-2005-1515)

  • qmail-verify as used in netqmail 1.06 is prone to a mail-address verification bypass vulnerability.
    (CVE-2020-3811)

  • qmail-verify as used in netqmail 1.06 is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability. A local attacker can test for the existence of files and directories anywhere in the filesystem because qmail- verify runs as root and tests for the existence of files in the attacker’s home directory, without dropping its privileges first. (CVE-2020-3812)

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