The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6999-2 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)

    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)
