The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6124-1 advisory.

    Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that a race condition existed in the netfilter subsystem of the     Linux kernel when processing batch requests, 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-2023-32233)

    Reima Ishii discovered that the nested KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors in the Linux kernel did     not properly validate control registers in certain situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to     cause a denial of service (guest crash). (CVE-2023-30456)

    Gwnaun Jung discovered that the SFB packet scheduling implementation in the Linux kernel contained 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-2022-3586)

    It was discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not perform a GPU TLB flush     in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-4139)

    It was discovered that the Xircom PCMCIA network device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     device removal events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2023-1670)

    Jean-Baptiste Cayrou discovered that the shiftfs file system in the Ubuntu Linux kernel contained a race     condition when handling inode locking in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (kernel deadlock). (CVE-2023-2612)

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.
