The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6896-1 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)

    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)

    Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition,     leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-23307)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when     modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service. (CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)

    Bai Jiaju discovered that the Xceive XC4000 silicon tuner device driver in the Linux kernel contained a     race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause     a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24861)

    Chenyuan Yang discovered that the Unsorted Block Images (UBI) flash device volume management subsystem did     not properly validate logical eraseblock sizes in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this     to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-25739)
