Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5909-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform     bounds checking in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a malicious     USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3628)

    It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the Bluetooth stack in the Linux kernel.
    A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2022-3640)

    Khalid Masum discovered that the NILFS2 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle certain error conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use     this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3649)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the SMSC UFX USB driver implementation in the Linux     kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause     a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-41849)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Roccat HID driver in the Linux kernel, leading to 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-2022-41850)

    Tams Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to expose     sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-42895)

    It was discovered that the binder IPC implementation 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-2023-20928)

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5918-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some RPC     messages, leading to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-43945)

    Tams Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained     multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42896)

    It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform     bounds checking in some situations.

    A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2022-3640)

    It was discovered that the Xen netback driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle packets     structured in certain ways. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service     (host NIC availability). (CVE-2022-3643)

    Khalid Masum discovered that the NILFS2 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle certain error conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.
