The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5915-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Upper Level Protocol (ULP) subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle sockets entering the LISTEN state in certain protocols, 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-2023-0461)

    Davide Ornaghi discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle VLAN     headers in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-0179)

    Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-     bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2022-36280)

    Zheng Wang discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-3707)

    Hyunwoo Kim discovered that the DVB Core driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference     counting in some situations, 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-2022-41218)

    It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free     vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-4379)

    It was discovered that the network queuing discipline implementation in the Linux kernel contained a null     pointer dereference in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2022-47929)

    Jos Oliveira and Rodrigo Branco discovered that the prctl syscall implementation in the Linux kernel did     not properly protect against indirect branch prediction attacks in some situations. A local attacker could     possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-0045)

    It was discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate buffer     lengths, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-0210)

    It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture     (ALSA) subsystem. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-0266)

    Kyle Zeng discovered that the class-based queuing discipline implementation in the Linux kernel contained     a type confusion vulnerability in some situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2023-23454)

    Kyle Zeng discovered that the ATM VC queuing discipline implementation in the Linux kernel contained a     type confusion vulnerability in some situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2023-23455)

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.
