The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6461-1 advisory.

    Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero     erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2023-31085)

    Marek Marczykowski-Grecki discovered that the Xen event channel infrastructure implementation in the     Linux kernel contained a race condition. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (paravirtualized device unavailability). (CVE-2023-34324)

    Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some     attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-39189)

    Bien Pham discovered that the netfiler subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading     to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)     or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-4244)

    Kyle Zeng discovered that the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket     buffers (skb) when performing IP routing in certain circumstances, leading to a null pointer dereference     vulnerability. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-42754)

    It was discovered that the Quick Fair Queueing scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly handle network packets in certain conditions, 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-2023-4921)

    It was discovered that the SMB network file sharing protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly handle certain error conditions, 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-2023-5345)

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.
