Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6688-1 advisory.

    Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle zero length data request, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a     guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (host domain crash). (CVE-2023-46838)

    It was discovered that the Habana's AI Processors driver in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize     certain data structures before passing them to user space. A local attacker could use this to expose     sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-50431)

    Murray McAllister discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle memory objects when storing surfaces, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker     in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2023-5633)

    It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     validate certain SMB messages, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this     to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-6610)

    It was discovered that the VirtIO subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some     situations. A local attacker could use this to possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
    (CVE-2024-0340)

    Lonial Con discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle element     deactivation in certain cases, 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-2024-1085)

    Notselwyn discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle verdict     parameters in certain cases, 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-2024-1086)

    Chenyuan Yang discovered that the RDS Protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-     bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2024-23849)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to     a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24860)

    Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to     compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
