The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6024-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Traffic-Control Index (TCINDEX) implementation in the Linux kernel contained 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-2023-1281)

    Lin Ma discovered a race condition in the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a null     pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2023-0468)

    It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the SGI GRU driver in the Linux kernel. A     local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3424)

    Hyunwoo Kim discovered that the DVB Core driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference     counting 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-2022-41218)

    It was discovered that the network queuing discipline implementation in the Linux kernel contained a null     pointer dereference in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2022-47929)

    Thadeu Cascardo discovered that the io_uring subsystem contained a double- free vulnerability in certain     memory allocation error conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2023-1032)

    It was discovered that the module decompression implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     return values in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2023-22997)

    Lianhui Tang discovered that the MPLS implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain     sysctl allocation failure conditions, leading to a double-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this     to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-26545)

    It was discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle a     loop termination condition, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could use     this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2023-26606)

    Wei Chen discovered that the DVB USB AZ6027 driver in the Linux kernel contained a null pointer     dereference when handling certain messages from user space. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-28328)

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.
