The remote Ubuntu 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6707-2 advisory.

    Lonial Con discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle element     deactivation in certain cases, 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-2024-1085)

    Notselwyn discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle verdict     parameters in certain cases, 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-2024-1086)

    Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to     compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:

    - Network drivers;

    - PWM drivers; (CVE-2024-26597, CVE-2024-26599)

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.
