The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7413-1 advisory.

    Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error     conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this     vulnerability to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38096)

    Ye Zhang and Nicolas Wu discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     locking for rings with IOPOLL, leading to a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to     cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-21400)

    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)

    Attila Szsz discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap     overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted,     could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-0927)
