The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5036-1 advisory.

  • In Tor before 0.3.3.12, 0.3.4.x before 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.x before 0.3.5.8, and 0.4.x before 0.4.0.2-alpha, remote denial of service against Tor clients and relays can occur via memory exhaustion in the KIST cell scheduler. (CVE-2019-8955)

  • Tor before 0.4.5.7 allows a remote participant in the Tor directory protocol to exhaust CPU resources on a target, aka TROVE-2021-001. (CVE-2021-28089)

  • Tor before 0.4.5.7 allows a remote attacker to cause Tor directory authorities to exit with an assertion failure, aka TROVE-2021-002. (CVE-2021-28090)

  • An issue was discovered in Tor before 0.4.6.5, aka TROVE-2021-003. An attacker can forge RELAY_END or RELAY_RESOLVED to bypass the intended access control for ending a stream. (CVE-2021-34548)

  • An issue was discovered in Tor before 0.4.6.5, aka TROVE-2021-005. Hashing is mishandled for certain retrieval of circuit data. Consequently. an attacker can trigger the use of an attacker-chosen circuit ID to cause algorithm inefficiency. (CVE-2021-34549)

  • An issue was discovered in Tor before 0.4.6.5, aka TROVE-2021-006. The v3 onion service descriptor parsing allows out-of-bounds memory access, and a client crash, via a crafted onion service descriptor (CVE-2021-34550)

  • Tor before 0.3.5.16, 0.4.5.10, and 0.4.6.7 mishandles the relationship between batch-signature verification and single-signature verification, leading to a remote assertion failure, aka TROVE-2021-007.
    (CVE-2021-38385)

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