The remote Ubuntu 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6652-1 advisory.

  - Closing of an event channel in the Linux kernel can result in a deadlock. This happens when the close is     being performed in parallel to an unrelated Xen console action and the handling of a Xen console interrupt     in an unprivileged guest. The closing of an event channel is e.g. triggered by removal of a paravirtual     device on the other side. As this action will cause console messages to be issued on the other side quite     often, the chance of triggering the deadlock is not neglectable. Note that 32-bit Arm-guests are not     affected, as the 32-bit Linux kernel on Arm doesn't use queued-RW-locks, which are required to trigger the     issue (on Arm32 a waiting writer doesn't block further readers to get the lock). (CVE-2023-34324)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.3.8. A use-after-free was found in ravb_remove in     drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_main.c. (CVE-2023-35827)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, exploitable by local users with userspace access     to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES     emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory (and thus privilege     escalation). This depends on a race condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before     the #VC handler reads it. (CVE-2023-46813)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.5.9. During a race with SQ thread exit, an     io_uring/fdinfo.c io_uring_show_fdinfo NULL pointer dereference can occur. (CVE-2023-46862)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.6.8. do_vcc_ioctl in net/atm/ioctl.c has a use-after-     free because of a vcc_recvmsg race condition. (CVE-2023-51780)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.6.8. atalk_ioctl in net/appletalk/ddp.c has a use-     after-free because of an atalk_recvmsg race condition. (CVE-2023-51781)

  - A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the nft_inner.c functionality of netfilter in the Linux     kernel. This issue could allow a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2023-5972)

  - A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel API for the cryptographic algorithm     scatterwalk functionality. This issue occurs when a user constructs a malicious packet with specific     socket configuration, which could allow a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on     the system. (CVE-2023-6176)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux Kernel due to a race problem in the unix garbage collector's     deletion of SKB races with unix_stream_read_generic() on the socket that the SKB is queued on.

  - A null pointer dereference vulnerability was found in nft_dynset_init() in net/netfilter/nft_dynset.c in     nf_tables in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN user privilege to     trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6622)

  - A Null pointer dereference problem was found in ida_free in lib/idr.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue may     allow an attacker using this library to cause a denial of service problem due to a missing check at a     function return. (CVE-2023-6915)

  - An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in receive_encrypted_standard in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in     the SMB Client sub-component in the Linux Kernel. This issue occurs due to integer underflow on the memcpy     length, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0565)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's io_uring functionality in how a user registers a buffer     ring with IORING_REGISTER_PBUF_RING, mmap() it, and then frees it. This flaw allows a local user to crash     or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2024-0582)

  - A denial of service vulnerability was found in tipc_crypto_key_revoke in net/tipc/crypto.c in the Linux     kernel's TIPC subsystem. This flaw allows guests with local user privileges to trigger a deadlock and     potentially crash the system. (CVE-2024-0641)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transport Layer Security functionality     in how a user calls a function splice with a ktls socket as the destination. This flaw allows a local user     to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2024-0646)

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The issue is in the nft_byteorder_eval()     function, where the code iterates through a loop and writes to the `dst` array. On each iteration, 8 bytes     are written, but `dst` is an array of u32, so each element only has space for 4 bytes. That means every     iteration overwrites part of the previous element corrupting this array of u32. This flaw allows a local     user to cause a denial of service or potentially break NetFilter functionality. (CVE-2024-0607)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transport Layer Security functionality     in how a user calls a function splice with a ktls socket as the destination. This flaw allows a local user     to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2024-0646)

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6626-2 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd, a high-performance in-kernel SMB server. The specific flaw     exists within the processing of SMB2_SESSION_SETUP commands. The issue results from the lack of proper     locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute     code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2023-32250)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd, a high-performance in-kernel SMB server. The specific flaw     exists within the handling of SMB2_LOGOFF commands. The issue results from the lack of proper validation     of a pointer prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-     service condition on the system. (CVE-2023-32252)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd, a high-performance in-kernel SMB server. The specific flaw     exists within the processing of SMB2_SESSION_SETUP and SMB2_LOGOFF commands. The issue results from the     lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this     vulnerability to execute code in the context of the kernel. (CVE-2023-32257)

  - Closing of an event channel in the Linux kernel can result in a deadlock. This happens when the close is     being performed in parallel to an unrelated Xen console action and the handling of a Xen console interrupt     in an unprivileged guest. The closing of an event channel is e.g. triggered by removal of a paravirtual     device on the other side. As this action will cause console messages to be issued on the other side quite     often, the chance of triggering the deadlock is not neglectable. Note that 32-bit Arm-guests are not     affected, as the 32-bit Linux kernel on Arm doesn't use queued-RW-locks, which are required to trigger the     issue (on Arm32 a waiting writer doesn't block further readers to get the lock). (CVE-2023-34324)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.3.8. A use-after-free was found in ravb_remove in     drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_main.c. (CVE-2023-35827)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, exploitable by local users with userspace access     to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES     emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory (and thus privilege     escalation). This depends on a race condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before     the #VC handler reads it. (CVE-2023-46813)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in lan78xx_disconnect in drivers/net/usb/lan78xx.c in the network sub-     component, net/usb/lan78xx in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system when     the LAN78XX USB device detaches. (CVE-2023-6039)

  - A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel API for the cryptographic algorithm     scatterwalk functionality. This issue occurs when a user constructs a malicious packet with specific     socket configuration, which could allow a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on     the system. (CVE-2023-6176)

  - A null pointer dereference vulnerability was found in nft_dynset_init() in net/netfilter/nft_dynset.c in     nf_tables in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN user privilege to     trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6622)

  - A denial of service vulnerability was found in tipc_crypto_key_revoke in net/tipc/crypto.c in the Linux     kernel's TIPC subsystem. This flaw allows guests with local user privileges to trigger a deadlock and     potentially crash the system. (CVE-2024-0641)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The function nft_pipapo_walk did not skip inactive elements during set     walk which could lead double deactivations of PIPAPO (Pile Packet Policies) elements, leading to use-     after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit 317eb9685095678f2c9f5a8189de698c5354316a. (CVE-2023-6817)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Performance Events system component can be     exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. A perf_event's read_size can overflow, leading to an heap     out-of-bounds increment or write in perf_read_group(). We recommend upgrading past commit     382c27f4ed28f803b1f1473ac2d8db0afc795a1b. (CVE-2023-6931)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ipv4: igmp component can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation. A race condition can be exploited to cause a timer be mistakenly registered on     a RCU read locked object which is freed by another thread. We recommend upgrading past commit     e2b706c691905fe78468c361aaabc719d0a496f1. (CVE-2023-6932)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. If the catchall element is     garbage-collected when the pipapo set is removed, the element can be deactivated twice. This can cause a     use-after-free issue on an NFT_CHAIN object or NFT_OBJECT object, allowing a local unprivileged user with     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2024-0193)

This issue occurs when two     threads execute the GSMIOC_SETCONF ioctl on the same tty file descriptor with the gsm line discipline     enabled, and can lead to a use-after-free problem on a struct gsm_dlci while restarting the gsm mux. This     could allow a local unprivileged user to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-6546)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in smbCalcSize in fs/smb/client/netmisc.c in the Linux     Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.
    (CVE-2023-6606)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in smb2_dump_detail in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in the Linux     Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.
    (CVE-2023-6610)

  - A null pointer dereference vulnerability was found in nft_dynset_init() in net/netfilter/nft_dynset.c in     nf_tables in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN user privilege to     trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6622)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Performance Events system component can be     exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. A perf_event's read_size can overflow, leading to an heap     out-of-bounds increment or write in perf_read_group(). We recommend upgrading past commit     382c27f4ed28f803b1f1473ac2d8db0afc795a1b. (CVE-2023-6931)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ipv4: igmp component can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation. A race condition can be exploited to cause a timer be mistakenly registered on     a RCU read locked object which is freed by another thread. We recommend upgrading past commit     e2b706c691905fe78468c361aaabc719d0a496f1. (CVE-2023-6932)
