The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6818-4 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)

    It was discovered that the Intel Data Streaming and Intel Analytics Accelerator drivers in the Linux     kernel allowed direct access to the devices for unprivileged users and virtual machines. A local attacker     could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-21823)

    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:
