The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5909-1 advisory.

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel Broadcom Full MAC Wi-Fi driver. This issue occurs     when a user connects to a malicious USB device. This can allow a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges. (CVE-2022-3628)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Linux Kernel. Affected is the function     l2cap_conn_del of the file net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c of the component Bluetooth. The manipulation leads     to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this     vulnerability is VDB-211944. (CVE-2022-3640)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function     nilfs_new_inode of the file fs/nilfs2/inode.c of the component BPF. The manipulation leads to use after     free. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
    The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211992. (CVE-2022-3649)

  - drivers/video/fbdev/smscufx.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition and resultant use-     after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a USB device while calling open(), aka a race     condition between ufx_ops_open and ufx_usb_disconnect. (CVE-2022-41849)

  - roccat_report_event in drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition     and resultant use-after-free in certain situations where a report is received while copying a     report->value is in progress. (CVE-2022-41850)

  - There is an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_parse_conf_req     function which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely. We recommend upgrading past commit     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1a2cd50c0357f243b7435a732b4e62ba3157a2e     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42895)

  - In binder_vma_close of binder.c, there is a possible use after free due to improper locking. This could     lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is     not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-254837884References:
