The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6900-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition,     leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270)

    It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer     dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2024-0841)

    It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during     recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2024-1151)

    Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition,     leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-23307)

    Bai Jiaju discovered that the Xceive XC4000 silicon tuner device driver in the Linux kernel contained a     race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause     a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24861)
