The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5914-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Upper Level Protocol (ULP) subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle sockets entering the LISTEN state in certain protocols, 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-2023-0461)

    It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some RPC     messages, leading to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-43945)

    Tams Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained     multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42896)

    It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel contained a data race condition. An     attacker could possibly use this to cause undesired behaviors. (CVE-2022-3567)

    It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel contained 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-2022-4379)

    It was discovered that an integer overflow vulnerability existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux     kernel. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2022-45934)

    It was discovered that the Atmel WILC1000 driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate offsets,     leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2022-47520)

    Jos Oliveira and Rodrigo Branco discovered that the prctl syscall implementation in the Linux kernel did     not properly protect against indirect branch prediction attacks in some situations. A local attacker could     possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-0045)

    It was discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel contained 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-2023-0469)

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.
