The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5390-2 advisory.

    David Bouman discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate passed     user register indices. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1015)

    David Bouman discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not initialize memory in some     situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
    (CVE-2022-1016)

    It was discovered that the ST21NFCA NFC driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the size of     certain data in EVT_TRANSACTION events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-26490)

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 remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:2770-1 advisory.

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Atheros wireless adapter driver in the way a user     forces the ath9k_htc_wait_for_target function to fail with some input messages. This flaw allows a local     user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-1679)

  - In ip_check_mc_rcu of igmp.c, there is a possible use after free due to improper locking. This could lead     to local escalation of privilege when opening and closing inet sockets with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-112551163References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20141)

  - st21nfca_connectivity_event_received in drivers/nfc/st21nfca/se.c in the Linux kernel through 5.16.12 has     EVT_TRANSACTION buffer overflows because of untrusted length parameters. (CVE-2022-26490)

  - mcba_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/mcba_usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double     free. (CVE-2022-28389)

  - ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double free.
    (CVE-2022-28390)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.9. A type confusion bug in nft_set_elem_init     (leading to a buffer overflow) could be used by a local attacker to escalate privileges, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2022-32250. (The attacker can obtain root access, but must start with an     unprivileged user namespace to obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN access.) This can be fixed in nft_setelem_parse_data     in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. (CVE-2022-34918)

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