The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5564-1 advisory.

    Zhenpeng Lin discovered that the network packet scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly remove all references to a route filter before freeing it in some situations. A local attacker     could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2588)

    It was discovered that the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel did not prevent one nft object from     referencing an nft set in another nft table, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker     could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2586)

    It was discovered that the implementation of POSIX timers in the Linux kernel did not properly clean up     timers in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2585)

    It was discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly prevent writes to     kernel objects in BPF_BTF_LOAD commands. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0500)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the floppy disk driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading     to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1652)

    It was discovered that the Atheros ath9k wireless device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle some error conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this     to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1679)

    It was discovered that the Marvell NFC device driver implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     perform memory cleanup operations in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local     attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2022-1734)

    Yongkang Jia discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     guest TLB mapping invalidation requests in some situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to     cause a denial of service (system crash) in the host OS. (CVE-2022-1789)

    Duoming Zhou discovered a race condition in the NFC subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-     free vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)     or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1974)

    Duoming Zhou discovered that the NFC subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly prevent context     switches from occurring during certain atomic context operations. A privileged local attacker could use     this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1975)

    Felix Fu discovered that the Sun RPC implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket     states, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-28893)

    Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered that for some AMD x86-64 processors, the branch predictor     could by mis-trained for return instructions in certain circumstances. A local attacker could possibly use     this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-29900)

    Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered that for some Intel x86-64 processors, the Linux kernel's     protections against speculative branch target injection attacks were insufficient in some circumstances. A     local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-29901)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the floppy driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition in some     situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-33981)

    Arthur Mongodin discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform data     validation. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges in certain situations. (CVE-2022-34918)

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.
