  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's watch queue due to a missing lock in pipe_resize_ring().
    The specific flaw exists within the handling of pipe buffers. The issue results from the lack of proper     locking when performing operations on an object. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2959)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's driver for the ASIX AX88179_178A-based USB 2.0/3.0 Gigabit Ethernet     Devices. The vulnerability contains multiple out-of-bounds reads and possible out-of-bounds writes.
    (CVE-2022-2964)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.17.2 mishandles seccomp permissions. The PTRACE_SEIZE code path allows attackers     to bypass intended restrictions on setting the PT_SUSPEND_SECCOMP flag. (CVE-2022-30594)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel Intel's iSMT SMBus host controller driver in     the way it handled the I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_PROC_CALL case (via the ioctl I2C_SMBUS) with malicious input data.
    This flaw could allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-3077)

  - An incorrect TLB flush issue was found in the Linux kernel's GPU i915 kernel driver, potentially leading     to random memory corruption or data leaks. This flaw could allow a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4139)

  - The Linux kernel NFSD implementation prior to versions 5.19.17 and 6.0.2 are vulnerable to buffer     overflow. NFSD tracks the number of pages held by each NFSD thread by combining the receive and send     buffers of a remote procedure call (RPC) into a single array of pages. A client can force the send buffer     to shrink by sending an RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message. The RPC     message with garbage data is still correctly formed according to the specification and is passed forward     to handlers. Vulnerable code in NFSD is not expecting the oversized request and writes beyond the     allocated buffer space. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (CVE-2022-43945)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3288-1 advisory.

  - The einj_error_inject function in drivers/acpi/apei/einj.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to     simulate hardware errors and consequently cause a denial of service by leveraging failure to disable APEI     error injection through EINJ when securelevel is set. (CVE-2016-3695)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16.11. The mixed IPID assignment method with the     hash-based IPID assignment policy allows an off-path attacker to inject data into a victim's TCP session     or terminate that session. (CVE-2020-36516)

  - Uncontrolled resource consumption in the Linux kernel drivers for Intel(R) SGX may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2021-33135)

  - A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that     allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with     group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a     certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive     permissions granted in case when they should not. This vulnerability is similar to the previous     CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS. (CVE-2021-4037)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/ext4/namei.c:dx_insert_block() in the Linux kernel's filesystem sub-     component. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user privilege to cause a denial of service.

  - An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem in how a user calls the     bpf_tail_call function with a key larger than the max_entries of the map. This flaw allows a local user to     gain unauthorized access to data. (CVE-2022-2905)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Pressure Stall Information. While the feature is     disabled by default, it could allow an attacker to crash the system or have other memory-corruption side     effects. (CVE-2022-2938)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's watch queue due to a missing lock in pipe_resize_ring().
    The specific flaw exists within the handling of pipe buffers. The issue results from the lack of proper     locking when performing operations on an object. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2959)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel implementation of proxied virtualized TPM devices. On a system where     virtualized TPM devices are configured (this is not the default) a local attacker can create a use-after-     free and create a situation where it may be possible to escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2977)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem)     when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously.

    It was discovered that the device-mapper verity (dm-verity) driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     verify targets being loaded into the device- mapper table. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2503)

    Zheyu Ma discovered that the Intel iSMT SMBus host controller driver in the Linux kernel contained an out-     of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2022-2873)

    Selim Enes Karaduman discovered that a race condition existed in the pipe buffers implementation of the     Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     escalate privileges. (CVE-2022-2959)

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.
