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)

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1743193221 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: asix: fix uninit-value in     asix_mdio_read() asix_read_cmd() may read less than sizeof(smsr) bytes and in this case smsr will be     uninitialized. Fail log: BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in asix_check_host_enable     drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:82 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in asix_check_host_enable     drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:82 [inline] drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in     asix_mdio_read+0x3c1/0xb00 drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497     asix_check_host_enable drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:82 [inline] asix_check_host_enable     drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:82 [inline] drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 asix_mdio_read+0x3c1/0xb00     drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c:497 (CVE-2021-47101)

  - A flaw was found in the filelock_init in fs/locks.c function in the Linux kernel. This issue can lead to     host memory exhaustion due to memcg not limiting the number of Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX)     file locks. (CVE-2022-0480)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this     vulnerability is the function intr_callback of the file drivers/net/usb/r8152.c of the component BPF. The     manipulation leads to logging of excessive data. The attack can be launched remotely. It is recommended to     apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211363.
    (CVE-2022-3594)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vt_ioctl: fix array_index_nospec in     vt_setactivate array_index_nospec ensures that an out-of-bounds value is set to zero on the transient     path. Decreasing the value by one afterwards causes a transient integer underflow. vsa.console should be     decreased first and then sanitized with array_index_nospec. Kasper Acknowledgements: Jakob Koschel, Brian     Johannesmeyer, Kaveh Razavi, Herbert Bos, Cristiano Giuffrida from the VUSec group at VU Amsterdam.
    (CVE-2022-48804)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel. The tls_is_tx_ready() incorrectly checks for list emptiness,     potentially accessing a type confused entry to the list_head, leaking the last byte of the confused field     that overlaps with rec->tx_ready. (CVE-2023-1075)
