Ubuntu 24.04 LTS : Linux kernel vulnerabilities (USN-6893-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 202476

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6893-2 advisory.

 It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

 (CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)
