The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6651-2 advisory.

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) subsystem of 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 execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51780)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AppleTalk networking subsystem of 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 execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51781)

    Zhenghan Wang discovered that the generic ID allocator implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     check for null bitmap when releasing IDs. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2023-6915)

    Robert Morris discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly validate certain server commands fields, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2024-0565)

    Jann Horn discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the release     of certain buffer rings. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-0582)

    Jann Horn discovered that the TLS subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle spliced messages,     leading to 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-2024-0646)

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.
