The remote Ubuntu 22.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5793-4 advisory.

  - An issue was found in the Linux kernel in nf_conntrack_irc where the message handling can be confused and     incorrectly matches the message. A firewall may be able to be bypassed when users are using unencrypted     IRC with nf_conntrack_irc configured. (CVE-2022-2663)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel sound subsystem due to improper locking. It could lead     to a NULL pointer dereference while handling the SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl. A privileged local user (root or     member of the audio group) could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service     condition (CVE-2022-3303)

  - A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel. This affects the function     spl2sw_nvmem_get_mac_address of the file drivers/net/ethernet/sunplus/spl2sw_driver.c of the component     BPF. The manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The     identifier VDB-211041 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3541)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Linux Kernel. This issue affects     the function unix_sock_destructor/unix_release_sock of the file net/unix/af_unix.c of the component BPF.
    The manipulation leads to memory leak. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The     associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211043. (CVE-2022-3543)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel. Affected is the function     damon_sysfs_add_target of the file mm/damon/sysfs.c of the component Netfilter. The manipulation leads to     memory leak. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is     VDB-211044. (CVE-2022-3544)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking code. A use-after-free was found in the way the sch_sfb     enqueue function used the socket buffer (SKB) cb field after the same SKB had been enqueued (and freed)     into a child qdisc. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to crash the system, causing a denial of     service. (CVE-2022-3586)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this     vulnerability is the function follow_page_pte of the file mm/gup.c of the component BPF. The manipulation     leads to race condition. The attack can be launched remotely. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix     this issue. The identifier VDB-211921 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3623)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Linux Kernel. This issue affects     the function nilfs_attach_log_writer of the file fs/nilfs2/segment.c of the component BPF. The     manipulation leads to memory leak. The attack may be initiated remotely. It is recommended to apply a     patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-211961 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3646)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function     nilfs_new_inode of the file fs/nilfs2/inode.c of the component BPF. The manipulation leads to use after     free. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
    The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211992. (CVE-2022-3649)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel allows Privilege Escalation. An improper Update of Reference     Count in io_uring leads to Use-After-Free and Local Privilege Escalation. When io_msg_ring was invoked     with a fixed file, it called io_fput_file() which improperly decreased its reference count (leading to     Use-After-Free and Local Privilege Escalation). Fixed files are permanently registered to the ring, and     should not be put separately. We recommend upgrading past commit     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/fc7222c3a9f56271fba02aabbfbae999042f1679     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/fc7222c3a9f56271fba02aabbfbae999042f1679 (CVE-2022-3910)

  - In binder_inc_ref_for_node of binder.c, there is a possible way to corrupt memory due to a use after free.
    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-239630375References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20421)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.19.8. drivers/firmware/efi/capsule-loader.c has a     race condition with a resultant use-after-free. (CVE-2022-40307)

  - drivers/video/fbdev/smscufx.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition and resultant use-     after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a USB device while calling open(), aka a race     condition between ufx_ops_open and ufx_usb_disconnect. (CVE-2022-41849)

  - roccat_report_event in drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition     and resultant use-after-free in certain situations where a report is received while copying a     report->value is in progress. (CVE-2022-41850)

  - drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c in usbmon in the Linux kernel before 5.19.15 and 6.x before 6.0.1 allows a user-     space client to corrupt the monitor's internal memory. (CVE-2022-43750)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
