The remote Ubuntu 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6819-2 advisory.

    Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate H2C     PDU data, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-6356, CVE-2023-6535, CVE-2023-6536)

    Chenyuan Yang discovered that the RDS Protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-     bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2024-23849)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to     a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24860)

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 version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.343-259.562. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2549 advisory.

    A flaw has been found in Xen. An unprivileged guest can cause Denial of Service (DoS) of the host by     sending network packets to the backend, causing the backend to crash. (CVE-2023-46838)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    EDAC/thunderx: Fix possible out-of-bounds string access

    Enabling -Wstringop-overflow globally exposes a warning for a common bugin the usage of strncat():

    drivers/edac/thunderx_edac.c: In function     'thunderx_ocx_com_threaded_isr':drivers/edac/thunderx_edac.c:1136:17: error: 'strncat' specified bound     1024 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]1136 |                 strncat(msg, other,     OCX_MESSAGE_SIZE);|                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...1145 |     strncat(msg, other, OCX_MESSAGE_SIZE);...1150 |                                 strncat(msg, other,     OCX_MESSAGE_SIZE);

    ...

    Apparently the author of this driver expected strncat() to behave theway that strlcat() does, which uses     the size of the destination bufferas its third argument rather than the length of the source buffer.
    Theresult is that there is no check on the size of the allocated buffer.

    Change it to strlcat().
