  - A memory leak problem was found in the TCP source port generation algorithm in net/ipv4/tcp.c due to the     small table perturb size. This flaw may allow an attacker to information leak and may cause a denial of     service problem. (CVE-2022-1012)

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TeleTYpe subsystem. The issue occurs in how a     user triggers a race condition using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK and TIOCGPTPEER and TIOCSTI and TCXONC with leakage     of memory in the flush_to_ldisc function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or read     unauthorized random data from memory. (CVE-2022-1462)

  - Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a concurrency     use-after-free flaw in the bad_flp_intr function. By executing a specially-crafted program, an attacker     could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the     system. (CVE-2022-1652)

  - 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)

  - A flaw in Linux Kernel found in nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev() in drivers/nfc/nfcmrvl/main.c can lead to use     after free both read or write when non synchronized between cleanup routine and firmware download routine.
    (CVE-2022-1734)

  - With shadow paging enabled, the INVPCID instruction results in a call to kvm_mmu_invpcid_gva. If INVPCID     is executed with CR0.PG=0, the invlpg callback is not set and the result is a NULL pointer dereference.
    (CVE-2022-1789)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM module, which can lead to a denial of     service in the x86_emulate_insn in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c. This flaw occurs while executing an illegal     instruction in guest in the Intel CPU. (CVE-2022-1852)

  - A flaw out of bounds memory write in the Linux kernel UDF file system functionality was found in the way     user triggers some file operation which triggers udf_write_fi(). A local user could use this flaw to crash     the system or potentially (CVE-2022-1943)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel in log_replay in fs/ntfs3/fslog.c in the NTFS journal.
    This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system and leads to a kernel information leak problem.
    (CVE-2022-1973)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's nft_set_desc_concat_parse() function .This flaw allows an     attacker to trigger a buffer overflow via nft_set_desc_concat_parse() , causing a denial of service and     possibly to run code. (CVE-2022-2078)

  - Incomplete cleanup of multi-core shared buffers for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21123)

  - KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus should be restricted during lockdown.
    An attacker with access to a serial port could trigger the debugger so it is important that the debugger     respect the lockdown mode when/if it is triggered. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and     Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). (CVE-2022-21499)

  - There are use-after-free vulnerabilities caused by timer handler in net/rose/rose_timer.c of linux that     allow attackers to crash linux kernel without any privileges. (CVE-2022-2318)

  - Dm-verity is used for extending root-of-trust to root filesystems. LoadPin builds on this property to     restrict module/firmware loads to just the trusted root filesystem. Device-mapper table reloads currently     allow users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass     verification till reboot. This allows root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and     unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for     peripherals that do not verify firmware updates. We recommend upgrading past commit     4caae58406f8ceb741603eee460d79bacca9b1b5 (CVE-2022-2503)

  - Linux disk/nic frontends data leaks T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text     explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Linux Block and Network PV device     frontends don't zero memory regions before sharing them with the backend (CVE-2022-26365, CVE-2022-33740).
    Additionally the granularity of the grant table doesn't allow sharing less than a 4K page, leading to     unrelated data residing in the same 4K page as data shared with a backend being accessible by such backend     (CVE-2022-33741, CVE-2022-33742). (CVE-2022-26365, CVE-2022-33740, CVE-2022-33741, CVE-2022-33742)

  - Non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may allow     an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-26373)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel Intel's iSMT SMBus host controller     driver in the way a user triggers the I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA (with the ioctl I2C_SMBUS) with malicious input     data. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-2873)

  - The SUNRPC subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.17.2 can call xs_xprt_free before ensuring that sockets     are in the intended state. (CVE-2022-28893)

  - Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary speculative code execution     under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-29900)

  - Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre variant that is able to bypass their     retpoline mitigation in the kernel to leak arbitrary data. An attacker with unprivileged user access can     hijack return instructions to achieve arbitrary speculative code execution under certain     microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-29901)

  - net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux kernel through 5.18.1 allows a local user (able to create     user/net namespaces) to escalate privileges to root because an incorrect NFT_STATEFUL_EXPR check leads to     a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-32250)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.17.9 allows TCP servers to identify clients by observing what source ports are     used. (CVE-2022-32296)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.3 on powerpc 32-bit platforms. There is a buffer     overflow in ptrace PEEKUSER and POKEUSER (aka PEEKUSR and POKEUSR) when accessing floating point     registers. (CVE-2022-32981)

  - network backend may cause Linux netfront to use freed SKBs While adding logic to support XDP (eXpress Data     Path), a code label was moved in a way allowing for SKBs having references (pointers) retained for further     processing to nevertheless be freed. (CVE-2022-33743)

  - Arm guests can cause Dom0 DoS via PV devices When mapping pages of guests on Arm, dom0 is using an rbtree     to keep track of the foreign mappings. Updating of that rbtree is not always done completely with the     related lock held, resulting in a small race window, which can be used by unprivileged guests via PV     devices to cause inconsistencies of the rbtree. These inconsistencies can lead to Denial of Service (DoS)     of dom0, e.g. by causing crashes or the inability to perform further mappings of other guests' memory     pages. (CVE-2022-33744)

  - rpmsg_virtio_add_ctrl_dev in drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c in the Linux kernel before 5.18.4 has a     double free. (CVE-2022-34494)

  - rpmsg_probe in drivers/rpmsg/virtio_rpmsg_bus.c in the Linux kernel before 5.18.4 has a double free.
    (CVE-2022-34495)

  - 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)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.18.13 lacks a certain clear operation for the block starting symbol (.bss). This     allows Xen PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges. (CVE-2022-36123)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrm_expand_policies in     net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice. (CVE-2022-36879)

  - nfqnl_mangle in net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) because, in the case of an nf_queue verdict with a one-byte     nfta_payload attribute, an skb_pull can encounter a negative skb->len. (CVE-2022-36946)

  - A kernel information leak flaw was identified in the scsi_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c in     the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker with a special user privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN or     CAP_SYS_RAWIO) to create issues with confidentiality. (CVE-2022-0494) (CVE-2022-1184)

  - kernel: race condition in perf_event_open leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2022-1729)

    It was discovered that the Xen paravirtualization frontend in the Linux kernel incorrectly shared     unrelated data when communicating with certain backends. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (guest crash) or expose sensitive information (guest kernel memory). (CVE-2022-33741,     CVE-2022-33742)

    Oleksandr Tyshchenko discovered that the Xen paravirtualization platform in the Linux kernel on ARM     platforms contained a race condition in certain situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to     cause a denial of service in the host OS. (CVE-2022-33744)

    It was discovered that the Netlink Transformation (XFRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a     reference counting error. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2022-36879)

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 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5706-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly handle internal data     structures. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
    (CVE-2021-4159)

    It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write vulnerability existed in the Video for Linux 2 (V4L2)     implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-20369)

    Duoming Zhou discovered that race conditions existed in the timer handling implementation of the Linux     kernel's Rose X.25 protocol layer, resulting in use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could use     this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-2318)

    Roger Pau Monn discovered that the Xen virtual block driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     initialize memory pages to be used for shared communication with the backend. A local attacker could use     this to expose sensitive information (guest kernel memory). (CVE-2022-26365)

    Pawan Kumar Gupta, Alyssa Milburn, Amit Peled, Shani Rehana, Nir Shildan and Ariel Sabba discovered that     some Intel processors with Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (eIBRS) did not properly handle     RET instructions after a VM exits. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2022-26373)
