"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7224-1 advisory.
It was discovered that non-authentication-related HTTP requests could be interpreted in an authentication
context by a Cyrus IMAP Server when multiple requests arrived over the same connection. An unauthenticated
attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a privilege escalation attack. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-18928)
Matthew Horsfall discovered that Cyrus IMAP Server utilized a poor string hashing algorithm that could be
abused to control where data was being stored. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-33582)
Damian Poddebniak discovered that Cyrus IMAP Server could interpret specially crafted commands to exploit
a memory issue. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-34055)
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.");
