The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3403 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel Intel's iSMT SMBus host controller     driver in the way a user triggers the I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA (with the ioctl I2C_SMBUS) with malicious input     data. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-2873)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SGI GRU driver in the way the first     gru_file_unlocked_ioctl function is called by the user, where a fail pass occurs in the     gru_check_chiplet_assignment function. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate     their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-3424)

  - A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability     is the function area_cache_get of the file drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfpcore/nfp_cppcore.c of the     component IPsec. The manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this     issue. The identifier VDB-211045 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3545)

  - An out-of-bounds(OOB) memory access vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in     drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_kms.c in GPU component in the Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128     (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing     a denial of service(DoS). (CVE-2022-36280)

  - A double-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The Intel GVT-g graphics driver triggers VGA card     system resource overload, causing a fail in the intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page function. This issue could     allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-3707)

  - In drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.10, there is a use-after-free caused     by refcount races, affecting dvb_demux_open and dvb_dmxdev_release. (CVE-2022-41218)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.10. l2cap_config_req in net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c     has an integer wraparound via L2CAP_CONF_REQ packets. (CVE-2022-45934)

  - A double-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP device driver functionality in how a user     registers the device when the register_netdevice function fails (NETDEV_REGISTER notifier). This flaw     allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4744)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.1.6, a NULL pointer dereference bug in the traffic control subsystem allows     an unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted traffic control     configuration that is set up with tc qdisc and tc class commands. This affects qdisc_graft in     net/sched/sch_api.c. (CVE-2022-47929)

  - The current implementation of the prctl syscall does not issue an IBPB immediately during the syscall. The     ib_prctl_set function updates the Thread Information Flags (TIFs) for the task and updates the SPEC_CTRL     MSR on the function __speculation_ctrl_update, but the IBPB is only issued on the next schedule, when the     TIF bits are checked. This leaves the victim vulnerable to values already injected on the BTB, prior to     the prctl syscall. The patch that added the support for the conditional mitigation via prctl     (ib_prctl_set) dates back to the kernel 4.9.176. We recommend upgrading past commit     a664ec9158eeddd75121d39c9a0758016097fa96 (CVE-2023-0045)

  - A use after free vulnerability exists in the ALSA PCM package in the Linux Kernel.
    SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_{READ|WRITE}32 is missing locks that can be used in a use-after-free that can result     in a priviledge escalation to gain ring0 access from the system user. We recommend upgrading past commit     56b88b50565cd8b946a2d00b0c83927b7ebb055e (CVE-2023-0266)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel. This flaw causes the system to crash. (CVE-2023-0394)

  - A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The     resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be     used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or commit     739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11 (CVE-2023-0458)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel which can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. To reach the vulnerability kernel configuration flag CONFIG_TLS or     CONFIG_XFRM_ESPINTCP has to be configured, but the operation does not require any privilege. There is a     use-after-free bug of icsk_ulp_data of a struct inet_connection_sock. When CONFIG_TLS is enabled, user can     install a tls context (struct tls_context) on a connected tcp socket. The context is not cleared if this     socket is disconnected and reused as a listener. If a new socket is created from the listener, the context     is inherited and vulnerable. The setsockopt TCP_ULP operation does not require any privilege. We recommend     upgrading past commit 2c02d41d71f90a5168391b6a5f2954112ba2307c (CVE-2023-0461)

  - A memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's human interface device (HID) subsystem in how a     user inserts a malicious USB device. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1073)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol. This issue may     occur when a user starts a malicious networking service and someone connects to this service. This could     allow a local user to starve resources, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1074)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The     rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() uses list_entry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user     can trigger this with rds_message_put(). Type confusion leads to `struct rds_msg_zcopy_info *info`     actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger     this, which causes an out of bounds access, and a lock corruption. (CVE-2023-1078)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free may be triggered in asus_kbd_backlight_set when     plugging/disconnecting in a malicious USB device, which advertises itself as an Asus device. Similarly to     the previous known CVE-2023-25012, but in asus devices, the work_struct may be scheduled by the LED     controller while the device is disconnecting, triggering a use-after-free on the struct asus_kbd_leds *led     structure. A malicious USB device may exploit the issue to cause memory corruption with controlled data.
    (CVE-2023-1079)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel integrated infrared receiver/transceiver driver was found in the     way user detaching rc device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate     their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1118)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) allows Privilege     Escalation. The imperfect hash area can be updated while packets are traversing, which will cause a use-     after-free when 'tcf_exts_exec()' is called with the destroyed tcf_ext. A local attacker user can use this     vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root. This issue affects Linux Kernel: from 4.14 before git     commit ee059170b1f7e94e55fa6cadee544e176a6e59c2. (CVE-2023-1281)

  - A flaw was found in KVM. When calling the KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl, on 32-bit systems, there might be some     uninitialized portions of the kvm_debugregs structure that could be copied to userspace, causing an     information leak. (CVE-2023-1513)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet driver was found.A local     user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2023-1670)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation. The tcindex_delete function which does not properly deactivate     filters in case of a perfect hashes while deleting the underlying structure which can later lead to double     freeing the structure. A local attacker user can use this vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root.
    We recommend upgrading past commit 8c710f75256bb3cf05ac7b1672c82b92c43f3d28. (CVE-2023-1829)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in xgene_hwmon_remove in drivers/hwmon/xgene-hwmon.c in the Hardware     Monitoring Linux Kernel Driver (xgene-hwmon). This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system     due to a race problem. This vulnerability could even lead to a kernel information leak problem.
    (CVE-2023-1855)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in btsdio_remove in drivers\bluetooth\btsdio.c in the Linux Kernel. In     this flaw, a call to btsdio_remove with an unfinished job, may cause a race problem leading to a UAF on     hdev devices. (CVE-2023-1989)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in ndlc_remove in drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw     could allow an attacker to crash the system due to a race problem. (CVE-2023-1990)

  - The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with     PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed     that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to     attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be     observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened     because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that     STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection.
    However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons,     which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target     injection against which STIBP protects. (CVE-2023-1998)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in     SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker could leak kernel internal information.
    (CVE-2023-2162)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The     userspace data->block[0] variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a     memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2023-2194)

  - cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes     indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23454)

  - atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition     rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23455)

  - In rndis_query_oid in drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.5, there is an     integer overflow in an addition. (CVE-2023-23559)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.1.13, there is a double free in net/mpls/af_mpls.c upon an allocation failure     (for registering the sysctl table under a new location) during the renaming of a device. (CVE-2023-26545)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the az6027 driver in drivers/media/usb/dev-usb/az6027.c in     the Linux Kernel. The message from user space is not checked properly before transferring into the device.
    This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-28328)

  - An issue was discovered in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.8. nVMX on x86_64     lacks consistency checks for CR0 and CR4. (CVE-2023-30456)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs a device.
    (CVE-2023-30772)

  - AMD recommends using a software mitigation for this issue, which the kernel is enabling by default. The     Linux kernel will use the generic retpoline software mitigation, instead of the specialized AMD one, on     AMD instances (*5a*). This is done by default, and no administrator action is needed. (CVE-2021-26341)     (CVE-2023-0459)

  - Use after free in xen_9pfs_front_remove due to race condition (CVE-2023-1859)

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 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6085-1 advisory.

  - When SMT is enabled, certain AMD processors may speculatively execute instructions using a target from the     sibling thread after an SMT mode switch potentially resulting in information disclosure. (CVE-2022-27672)

  - A double-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The Intel GVT-g graphics driver triggers VGA card     system resource overload, causing a fail in the intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page function. This issue could     allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-3707)

  - Copy_from_user on 64-bit versions of the Linux kernel does not implement the __uaccess_begin_nospec     allowing a user to bypass the access_ok check and pass a kernel pointer to copy_from_user(). This would     allow an attacker to leak information. We recommend upgrading beyond commit     74e19ef0ff8061ef55957c3abd71614ef0f42f47 (CVE-2023-0459)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel. The tls_is_tx_ready() incorrectly checks for list emptiness,     potentially accessing a type confused entry to the list_head, leaking the last byte of the confused field     that overlaps with rec->tx_ready. (CVE-2023-1075)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The     rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() uses list_entry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user     can trigger this with rds_message_put(). Type confusion leads to `struct rds_msg_zcopy_info *info`     actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger     this, which causes an out of bounds access, and a lock corruption. (CVE-2023-1078)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel integrated infrared receiver/transceiver driver was found in the     way user detaching rc device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate     their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1118)

  - A flaw was found in KVM. When calling the KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl, on 32-bit systems, there might be some     uninitialized portions of the kvm_debugregs structure that could be copied to userspace, causing an     information leak. (CVE-2023-1513)

  - In binder_transaction_buffer_release of binder.c, there is a possible use after free due to improper input     validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges     needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid     ID: A-257685302References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2023-20938)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create in drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c in     SCSI sub-component in the Linux Kernel. In this flaw an attacker could leak kernel internal information.
    (CVE-2023-2162)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.1.11. In net/netrom/af_netrom.c, there is a use-     after-free because accept is also allowed for a successfully connected AF_NETROM socket. However, in order     for an attacker to exploit this, the system must have netrom routing configured or the attacker must have     the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. (CVE-2023-32269)
