The remote Ubuntu 23.04 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6175-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking     configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action mirred) a local unprivileged user     could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a     retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4269)

  - A slab-out-of-bound read problem was found in brcmf_get_assoc_ies in     drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue could occur     when assoc_info->req_len data is bigger than the size of the buffer, defined as WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX, leading     to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1380)

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found in io_file_bitmap_get in io_uring/filetable.c in the io_uring sub-     component in the Linux Kernel. When fixed files are unregistered, some context information     (file_alloc_{start,end} and alloc_hint) is not cleared. A subsequent request that has auto index selection     enabled via IORING_FILE_INDEX_ALLOC can cause a NULL pointer dereference. An unprivileged user can use the     flaw to cause a system crash. (CVE-2023-1583)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This     flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea (CVE-2023-1611)

  - 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 flaw was found in xgene_hwmon_remove in drivers/hwmon/xgene-hwmon.c in the Hardware     Monitoring Linux Kernel Driver (xgene-hwmon).

  - 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)

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found in io_file_bitmap_get in io_uring/filetable.c in the io_uring sub-     component in the Linux Kernel. When fixed files are unregistered, some context information     (file_alloc_{start,end} and alloc_hint) is not cleared. A subsequent request that has auto index selection     enabled via IORING_FILE_INDEX_ALLOC can cause a NULL pointer dereference. An unprivileged user can use the     flaw to cause a system crash. (CVE-2023-1583)

  - 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)

  - The Linux kernel through 6.1.9 has a Use-After-Free in bigben_remove in drivers/hid/hid-bigbenff.c via a     crafted USB device because the LED controllers remain registered for too long. (CVE-2023-25012)

  - do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2023-28466)

  - In the Linux kernel through 6.2.8, net/bluetooth/hci_sync.c allows out-of-bounds access because     amp_init1[] and amp_init2[] are supposed to have an intentionally invalid element, but do not.
    (CVE-2023-28866)

  - 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)
