The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4981-1 advisory.
Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled requests with the urn: scheme. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2021-28651)
Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled requests to the Cache Manager API. A remote attacker with access privileges could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.10, and Ubuntu 21.04.
(CVE-2021-28652)
Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain response headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue was only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.10, and Ubuntu 21.04. (CVE-2021-28662)
Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled range request processing. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-31806, CVE-2021-31807, CVE-2021-31808)
Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain HTTP responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-33620)
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.
