The remote Ubuntu 23.04 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6175-1 advisory.

    Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that a race condition existed in the netfilter subsystem of the     Linux kernel when processing batch requests, 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-2023-32233)

    Gwangun Jung discovered that the Quick Fair Queueing scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel     contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-31436)

    Reima Ishii discovered that the nested KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors in the Linux kernel did     not properly validate control registers in certain situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to     cause a denial of service (guest crash). (CVE-2023-30456)

    It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform     data buffer size validation in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a     malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose     sensitive information. (CVE-2023-1380)

    William Zhao discovered that the Traffic Control (TC) subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle network packet retransmission in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (kernel deadlock). (CVE-2022-4269)

    It was discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform file table     updates in some situations, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could     use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-1583)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the btrfs file system implementation in the Linux     kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-1611)

    It was discovered that the Xircom PCMCIA network device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     device removal events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2023-1670)

    It was discovered that the APM X-Gene SoC hardware monitoring driver in the Linux kernel contained a race     condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-1855)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Xen transport layer implementation for the 9P file     system protocol in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use     this to cause a denial of service (guest crash) or expose sensitive information (guest kernel memory).
    (CVE-2023-1859)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth HCI SDIO driver, leading to a use-after-     free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-1989)

    It was discovered that the ST NCI NFC driver did not properly handle device removal events. A physically     proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-1990)

    It was discovered that the SLIMpro I2C device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate user-     supplied data in some situations, leading to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A privileged attacker     could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2023-2194)

    It was discovered that the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A     privileged local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-2235)

    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)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the TLS subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a     use-after-free or a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-28466)

    It was discovered that the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize some data     structures, leading to an out-of-bounds access vulnerability in certain situations. An attacker could use     this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-28866)

    It was discovered that the DA9150 charger driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle device     removal, leading to a user-after free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to     cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-30772)

    It was discovered that the Qualcomm EMAC ethernet driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     device removal, leading to a user-after free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this     to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-33203)

    It was discovered that the BQ24190 charger driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle device     removal, leading to a user-after free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to     cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-33288)

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.
