The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6680-3 advisory.

     discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly handle certain memory allocation failure conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference     vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-46343)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to     a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51779)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Rose X.25 protocol implementation in the Linux     kernel, leading to a use-after- free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51782)

    Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly handle connect     command payloads in certain situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker     could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-6121)

    Jann Horn discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds access     vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-6560)

    Dan Carpenter discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not store data in properly     sized memory locations. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2024-0607)

    Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the     Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit     emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service     (guest crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-25744)
