The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 22.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5944-1 advisory.

  • The package org.yaml:snakeyaml from 0 and before 1.31 are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) due missing to nested depth limitation for collections. (CVE-2022-25857)

  • Using snakeYAML to parse untrusted YAML files may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. (CVE-2022-38749, CVE-2022-38750, CVE-2022-38751)

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