The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5172-1 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in uriparser before 0.9.0. UriQuery.c allows an out-of-bounds write via a uriComposeQuery* or uriComposeQueryEx* function because the ‘&’ character is mishandled in certain contexts. (CVE-2018-19198)

  • An issue was discovered in uriparser before 0.9.0. UriQuery.c allows an integer overflow via a uriComposeQuery* or uriComposeQueryEx* function because of an unchecked multiplication. (CVE-2018-19199)

  • An issue was discovered in uriparser before 0.9.0. UriCommon.c allows attempted operations on NULL input via a uriResetUri* function. (CVE-2018-19200)

  • URI_FUNC() in UriParse.c in uriparser before 0.9.1 has an out-of-bounds read (in uriParseEx functions) for an incomplete URI with an IPv6 address containing an embedded IPv4 address, such as a //[::44.1 address. (CVE-2018-20721)

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