The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6704-4 advisory.

    It was discovered that the NVIDIA Tegra XUSB pad controller driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle return values in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2023-23000)

    Quentin Minster discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     session setup requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (memory     exhaustion). (CVE-2023-32247)

    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)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the SCSI Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel driver in the     Linux kernel when unregistering FCF and re-scanning an HBA FCF table, leading to a null pointer     dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2024-24855)

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.
