"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-3822-1 advisory.

  - arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9 mismanages the #BP and #OF exceptions, which allows
    guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) by declining to handle an exception thrown by
    an L2 guest. (CVE-2016-9588)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel scsi driver. Product: Android. Versions: Android
    kernel. Android ID A-65023233. (CVE-2017-13168)

  - The usbnet_generic_cdc_bind function in drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.11
    allows local users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and system crash) or possibly have
    unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device. (CVE-2017-16649)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.6. An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status
    in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from
    unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940. (CVE-2018-16658)

  - In the hidp_process_report in bluetooth, there is an integer overflow. This could lead to an out of bounds
    write with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
    Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID: A-65853588 References: Upstream kernel.
    (CVE-2018-9363)

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