The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6888-2 advisory.

USN-6888-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Django. This update provides the corresponding update for     Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

Elias Myllymki discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain inputs

with a large number of brackets. A remote attacker could possibly use this

issue to cause Django to consume resources or stop responding, resulting in

a denial of service. (CVE-2024-38875)

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled authenticating users with

unusable passwords. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to

perform a timing attack and enumerate users. (CVE-2024-39329)

Josh Schneier discovered that Django incorrectly handled file path

validation when the storage class is being derived. A remote attacker could

possibly use this issue to save files into arbitrary directories.

(CVE-2024-39330)

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain long strings that

included a specific set of characters. A remote attacker could possibly use

this issue to cause Django to consume resources or stop responding,

resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-39614)

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.
