The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6332-1 advisory.

  - Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution in certain vector     execution units for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-40982)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking     configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action mirred) a local unprivileged user     could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a     retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4269)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.2. The ntfs3 subsystem does not properly check for     correctness during disk reads, leading to an out-of-bounds read in ntfs_set_ea in fs/ntfs3/xattr.c.
    (CVE-2022-48502)

  - A flaw possibility of memory leak in the Linux kernel cpu_entry_area mapping of X86 CPU data to memory was     found in the way user can guess location of exception stack(s) or other important data. A local user could     use this flaw to get access to some important data with expected location in memory. (CVE-2023-0597)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This     flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea (CVE-2023-1611)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in xgene_hwmon_remove in drivers/hwmon/xgene-hwmon.c in the Hardware     Monitoring Linux Kernel Driver (xgene-hwmon). This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system     due to a race problem. This vulnerability could even lead to a kernel information leak problem.
    (CVE-2023-1855)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in ndlc_remove in drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw     could allow an attacker to crash the system due to a race problem. (CVE-2023-1990)

  - A vulnerability was found in the HCI sockets implementation due to a missing capability check in     net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows an attacker to unauthorized execution of     management commands, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Bluetooth     communication. (CVE-2023-2002)

  - An issue in Zen 2 CPUs, under specific microarchitectural circumstances, may allow an attacker to     potentially access sensitive information. (CVE-2023-20593)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS file system in how a user restores     an XFS image after failure (with a dirty log journal). This flaw allows a local user to crash or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-2124)

  - In multiple functions of io_uring.c, there is a possible kernel memory corruption due to improper locking.
    This could lead to local escalation of privilege in the kernel with System execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (CVE-2023-21400)

  - Incorrect verifier pruning in BPF in Linux Kernel >=5.4 leads to unsafe code paths being incorrectly     marked as safe, resulting in arbitrary read/write in kernel memory, lateral privilege escalation, and     container escape. (CVE-2023-2163)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The     userspace data->block[0] variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a     memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2023-2194)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel Performance Events system can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation. The perf_group_detach function did not check the event's siblings'     attach_state before calling add_event_to_groups(), but remove_on_exec made it possible to call     list_del_event() on before detaching from their group, making it possible to use a dangling pointer     causing a use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit     fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2. (CVE-2023-2235)

  - A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a     deadlock in table_clear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-     component. (CVE-2023-2269)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.19, drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_planes.c misinterprets the get_sg_table return     value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer). (CVE-2023-23004)

  - do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c in the Linux kernel through 6.2.6 lacks a lock_sock call, leading     to a race condition (with a resultant use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference). (CVE-2023-28466)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs a device.
    (CVE-2023-30772)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in r592_remove in drivers/memstick/host/r592.c in media access in the     Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system at device disconnect, possibly leading     to a kernel information leak. (CVE-2023-3141)

  - 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_TREE_CONNECT and SMB2_QUERY_INFO 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-2023-32248)

  - An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel in relay_file_read_start_pos in     kernel/relay.c in the relayfs. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel     internal information. (CVE-2023-3268)

  - The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/emac.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs an emac based device.
    (CVE-2023-33203)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.2.9. A use-after-free was found in bq24190_remove in     drivers/power/supply/bq24190_charger.c. It could allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a race     condition. (CVE-2023-33288)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in saa7134_finidev in     drivers/media/pci/saa7134/saa7134-core.c. (CVE-2023-35823)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in dm1105_remove in     drivers/media/pci/dm1105/dm1105.c. (CVE-2023-35824)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in     renesas_usb3_remove in drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c. (CVE-2023-35828)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.2. A use-after-free was found in rkvdec_remove in     drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/rkvdec.c. (CVE-2023-35829)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32 component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, u32_set_parms() will immediately return     an error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can     control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a     use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 04c55383fa5689357bcdd2c8036725a55ed632bc.
    (CVE-2023-3609)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. Flaw in the error handling of bound chains causes a use-after-free in     the abort path of NFT_MSG_NEWRULE. The vulnerability requires CAP_NET_ADMIN to be triggered. We recommend     upgrading past commit 4bedf9eee016286c835e3d8fa981ddece5338795. (CVE-2023-3610)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation. The qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c allows an out-     of-bounds write because lmax is updated according to packet sizes without bounds checks. We recommend     upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64. (CVE-2023-3611)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_set_parms() will immediately return an     error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can     control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a     use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f.
    (CVE-2023-3776)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. When nf_tables_delrule() is flushing table rules, it is not checked     whether the chain is bound and the chain's owner rule can also release the objects in certain     circumstances. We recommend upgrading past commit 6eaf41e87a223ae6f8e7a28d6e78384ad7e407f8.
    (CVE-2023-3777)

  - Rejected reason: This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is a     duplicate of CVE-2023-4147. (CVE-2023-3995)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter in the way a user triggers the     nft_pipapo_remove function with the element, without a NFT_SET_EXT_KEY_END. This issue could allow a local     user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-4004)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. On an error when building a nftables rule, deactivating immediate     expressions in nft_immediate_deactivate() can lead unbinding the chain and objects be deactivated but     later used. We recommend upgrading past commit 0a771f7b266b02d262900c75f1e175c7fe76fec2. (CVE-2023-4015)
