The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6765-1 advisory.

    Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate H2C     PDU data, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-6356, CVE-2023-6535, CVE-2023-6536)

    Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux     kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-0001) were     insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2024-2201)

    Chenyuan Yang discovered that the RDS Protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-     bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2024-23849)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to     a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24860)

    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:
