The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6135-1 advisory.

  - A slab-out-of-bound read problem was found in brcmf_get_assoc_ies in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue could occur     when assoc_info->req_len data is bigger than the size of the buffer, defined as WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX, leading     to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1380)

  - Jean-Baptiste Cayrou discovered that the shiftfs file system in the Ubuntu Linux kernel contained a race     condition when handling inode locking in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (kernel deadlock). (CVE-2023-2612)

  - An issue was discovered in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.8. nVMX on x86_64     lacks consistency checks for CR0 and CR4. (CVE-2023-30456)

  - qfq_change_class in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.13 allows an out-of-bounds write     because lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX. (CVE-2023-31436)

  - In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests     can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users     can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled. (CVE-2023-32233)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
