The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6707-4 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)

    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)
