The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6043-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Traffic-Control Index (TCINDEX) implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly perform filter deactivation in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain     elevated privileges. Please note that with the fix for this CVE, kernel support for the TCINDEX classifier     has been removed. (CVE-2023-1829)

    It was discovered that the OverlayFS implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle copy up     operation in some conditions. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2023-0386)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
