EDK2 contains a vulnerability in BIOS where a user may cause an Integer Overflow or Wraparound by network means. A successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7894-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that EDK II was susceptible to a predictable TCP Initial Sequence Number. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to gain unauthorized access. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and     Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-45236, CVE-2023-45237)

    It was discovered that EDK II incorrectly handled S3 sleep. An attacker could possibly use this issue to     cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2024-1298)

    It was discovered that the EDK II PE/COFF loader incorrectly handled certain memory operations. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or     execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-38796)

    It was discovered that the EDK II PE image hashing function incorrectly handled certain memory operations.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2024-38797)

    It was discovered that the EDK II BIOS incorrectly handled certain memory operations. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-38805, CVE-2025-2295)

    It was discovered that EDK II incorrectly handled the enabling of MCE. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-3770)

    It was discovered that the OpenSSL library embedded in EDK II contained multiple vulnerabilties. An     attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3712, CVE-2022-0778, CVE-2022-4304, CVE-2022-4450, CVE-2023-0215,     CVE-2023-0286, CVE-2023-0464, CVE-2023-0465, CVE-2023-0466, CVE-2023-2650, CVE-2023-3446, CVE-2023-3817,     CVE-2023-5678, CVE-2023-6237, CVE-2024-0727, CVE-2024-13176, CVE-2024-2511, CVE-2024-41996, CVE-2024-4741,     CVE-2024-5535, CVE-2024-6119, CVE-2024-9143, CVE-2025-9232)

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 Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - EDK2 contains a vulnerability in BIOS where a user may cause an Integer Overflow or Wraparound by network     means. A successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2025-2295)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2824 advisory.
