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-7007-3 advisory.

    Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free     vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-23848)

    Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the     device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2024-25741)

    It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing     xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2024-40902)
