Synopsis
The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.Description
The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5634-1 advisory.Domingo Dirutigliano and Nicola Guerrera discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle rules that truncated packets below the packet header size. When such rules are in place, a remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
