The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6536-1 advisory.

    Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some     attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-39189)

    Kyle Zeng discovered that the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket     buffers (skb) when performing IP routing in certain circumstances, leading to a null pointer dereference     vulnerability. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-42754)

    Yikebaer Aizezi discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-     after-free vulnerability when handling inode extent metadata. An attacker could use this to construct a     malicious ext4 file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-45898)

    Jason Wang discovered that the virtio ring implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle iov     buffers in some situations. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service     (host system crash). (CVE-2023-5158)

    Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle queue     initialization failures in certain situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2023-5178)

    Budimir Markovic discovered that the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle event     groups, leading to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-5717)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6537-1 advisory.

    Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero     erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2023-31085)

    Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some     attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-39189)

    Bien Pham discovered that the netfiler subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading     to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)     or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-4244)
