"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-3485-2 advisory.

  - Race condition in the ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local users to cause a
    denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted /dev/snd/seq
    ioctl calls, related to sound/core/seq/seq_clientmgr.c and sound/core/seq/seq_ports.c. (CVE-2017-15265)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.7 mishandles use of add_key for a key that already
    exists but is uninstantiated, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted system call.
    (CVE-2017-15299)

  - net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted
    system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition
    (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability than
    CVE-2017-6346. (CVE-2017-15649)

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.13.10 does not correctly synchronize the actions of
    updating versus finding a key in the negative state to avoid a race condition, which allows local users
    to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls.
    (CVE-2017-15951)

  - The usb_serial_console_disconnect function in drivers/usb/serial/console.c in the Linux kernel before
    4.13.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related to disconnection and failed setup.
    (CVE-2017-16525)

  - drivers/uwb/uwbd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service
    (general protection fault and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB
    device. (CVE-2017-16526)

  - sound/usb/mixer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service
    (snd_usb_mixer_interrupt use-after-free and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
    crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16527)

  - The snd_usb_create_streams function in sound/usb/card.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16529)

  - The uas driver in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-
    bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device, related
    to drivers/usb/storage/uas-detect.h and drivers/usb/storage/uas.c. (CVE-2017-16530)

  - drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows local users to cause a denial of
    service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted USB
    device, related to the USB_DT_INTERFACE_ASSOCIATION descriptor. (CVE-2017-16531)

  - The usbhid_parse function in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.8 allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
    other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16533)

  - The cdc_parse_cdc_header function in drivers/usb/core/message.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.6 allows
    local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16534)

  - The usb_get_bos_descriptor function in drivers/usb/core/config.c in the Linux kernel before 4.13.10 allows
    local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16535)
