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-6821-2 advisory.

    It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition,     leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270)

    It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not properly validate certain data     structures, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial     of service. (CVE-2023-7042)

    It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer     dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2024-0841)

    Yuxuan Hu discovered that the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol driver in the Linux Kernel contained a race     condition, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2024-22099)

    It was discovered that the MediaTek SoC Gigabit Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race     condition when stopping the device. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service     (device unavailability). (CVE-2024-27432)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-crypt: don't modify the data when     using authenticated encryption It was said that authenticated encryption could produce invalid tag when     the data that is being encrypted is modified [1]. So, fix this problem by copying the data into the clone     bio first and then encrypt them inside the clone bio. This may reduce performance, but it is needed to     prevent the user from corrupting the device by writing data with O_DIRECT and modifying them at the same     time.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix slab-use-after-     free in l2cap_connect() Extend a critical section to prevent chan from early freeing. Also make the     l2cap_connect() return type void. Nothing is using the returned value but it is ugly to return a     potentially freed pointer. Making it void will help with backports because earlier kernels did use the     return value. Now the compile will break for kernels where this patch is not a complete fix. Call stack     summary: [use] l2cap_bredr_sig_cmd l2cap_connect  mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock);  chan =     pchan->ops->new_connection(pchan); <- alloc chan  __l2cap_chan_add(conn, chan);  l2cap_chan_hold(chan);

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: Add a timeout to acquire the     command queue semaphore Prevent forced completion handling on an entry that has not yet been assigned an     index, causing an out of bounds access on idx = -22. Instead of waiting indefinitely for the sem, blocking     flow now waits for index to be allocated or a sem acquisition timeout before beginning the timer for FW     completion. Kernel log example: mlx5_core 0000:06:00.0: wait_func_handle_exec_timeout:1128:(pid 185911):
    cmd[-22]: CREATE_UCTX(0xa04) No done completion (CVE-2024-38556)

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