The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5001-1 advisory.

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a     network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
    (CVE-2020-24586)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary     can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed. (CVE-2020-24587)

  - The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent     Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated.
    Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an     adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets. (CVE-2020-24588)

  - An issue was discovered in the kernel in NetBSD 7.1. An Access Point (AP) forwards EAPOL frames to other     clients even though the sender has not yet successfully authenticated to the AP. This might be abused in     projected Wi-Fi networks to launch denial-of-service attacks against connected clients and makes it easier     to exploit other vulnerabilities in connected clients. (CVE-2020-26139)

  - An issue was discovered in the ALFA Windows 10 driver 6.1316.1209 for AWUS036H. The Wi-Fi implementation     does not verify the Message Integrity Check (authenticity) of fragmented TKIP frames. An adversary can     abuse this to inject and possibly decrypt packets in WPA or WPA2 networks that support the TKIP data-     confidentiality protocol. (CVE-2020-26141)

  - An issue was discovered on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4.4.4 devices. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3     implementations accept second (or subsequent) broadcast fragments even when sent in plaintext and process     them as full unfragmented frames. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets     independent of the network configuration. (CVE-2020-26145)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.8.9. The WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 implementations reassemble     fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject     packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP,     CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. (CVE-2020-26147)

  - A race condition in Linux kernel SCTP sockets (net/sctp/socket.c) before 5.12-rc8 can lead to kernel     privilege escalation from the context of a network service or an unprivileged process. If     sctp_destroy_sock is called without sock_net(sk)->sctp.addr_wq_lock then an element is removed from the     auto_asconf_splist list without any proper locking. This can be exploited by an attacker with network     service privileges to escalate to root or from the context of an unprivileged user directly if a     BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE is attached which denies creation of some SCTP socket. (CVE-2021-23133)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in nfc sockets in the Linux Kernel before 5.12.4 allows local attackers to     elevate their privileges. In typical configurations, the issue can only be triggered by a privileged local     user with the CAP_NET_RAW capability. (CVE-2021-23134)

  - This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Linux Kernel     5.11.15. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in     order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of eBPF programs. The     issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied eBPF programs prior to executing them.
    An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the     context of the kernel. Was ZDI-CAN-13661. (CVE-2021-31440)

  - net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.2 has a race condition for removal of the HCI     controller. (CVE-2021-32399)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a use-after-free when destroying an     hci_chan, aka CID-5c4c8c954409. This leads to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33034)

  - An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in fs/f2fs/node.c in the f2fs module in the Linux     kernel in versions before 5.12.0-rc4. A bounds check failure allows a local attacker to gain access to     out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3506)

  - A flaw null pointer dereference in the Nitro Enclaves kernel driver was found in the way that Enclaves VMs     forces closures on the enclave file descriptor. A local user of a host machine could use this flaw to     crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-3543)

  - .A flaw was found in the CAN BCM networking protocol in the Linux kernel, where a local attacker can abuse     a flaw in the CAN subsystem to corrupt memory, crash the system or escalate privileges. This race     condition in net/can/bcm.c in the Linux kernel allows for local privilege escalation to root.

    An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the     context of the kernel. Was ZDI-CAN-13661. (CVE-2021-31440)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.1 performs undesirable speculative loads, leading     to disclosure of stack content via side-channel attacks, aka CID-801c6058d14a. The specific concern is not     protecting the BPF stack area against speculative loads. Also, the BPF stack can contain uninitialized     data that might represent sensitive information previously operated on by the kernel. (CVE-2021-31829)

  - net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.2 has a race condition for removal of the HCI     controller. (CVE-2021-32399)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.12.4, net/bluetooth/hci_event.c has a use-after-free when destroying an     hci_chan, aka CID-5c4c8c954409. This leads to writing an arbitrary value. (CVE-2021-33034)

  - kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.7 enforces incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic     operations, aka CID-bb01a1bba579. This can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel     memory, leading to local privilege escalation to root. In particular, there is a corner case where the off     reg causes a masking direction change, which then results in an incorrect final aux->alu_limit.
