"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-5091-1 advisory.

  - In kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13, a branch can be mispredicted (e.g., because
    of type confusion) and consequently an unprivileged BPF program can read arbitrary memory locations via a
    side-channel attack, aka CID-9183671af6db. (CVE-2021-33624)

  - A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was
    found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with
    CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-3679)

  - arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.5 on the powerpc platform allows KVM guest
    OS users to cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e. (CVE-2021-37576)

  - In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss can be
    triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE: the
    vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the
    length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior
    (CVE-2021-38160)

  - fs/nfs/nfs4client.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4 has incorrect connection-setup ordering, which
    allows operators of remote NFSv4 servers to cause a denial of service (hanging of mounts) by arranging for
    those servers to be unreachable during trunking detection. (CVE-2021-38199)

  - drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.6 allows physically proximate attackers to
    cause a denial of service (use-after-free and panic) by removing a MAX-3421 USB device in certain
    situations. (CVE-2021-38204)

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