Ubuntu 16.04 ESM : Linux kernel vulnerabilities (USN-5975-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 173437

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5975-1 advisory.

 Updated on 2023-04-11: Please note that when USN 5975-1 was originally published, it incorrectly included the linux-gcp kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. References to that kernel have been removed from this USN and the correct information for it has been published in USN 6007-1.



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.

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.
