Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS : Linux kernel vulnerabilities (USN-7088-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 210006

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7088-1 advisory.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
