"The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the USN-5544-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Atheros ath9k wireless device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly
    handle some error conditions, 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-2022-1679)

    Felix Fu discovered that the Sun RPC implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket
    states, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a
    denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-28893)

    Arthur Mongodin discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform data
    validation. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges in certain situations. (CVE-2022-34918)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the floppy disk driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading
    to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
    (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1652)
