"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-5560-2 advisory.

    Zhenpeng Lin discovered that the network packet scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel did not
    properly remove all references to a route filter before freeing it in some situations. A local attacker
    could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2588)

    It was discovered that the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel did not prevent one nft object from
    referencing an nft set in another nft table, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker
    could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2586)

    It was discovered that the block layer subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in
    some situations. A privileged local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel
    memory). (CVE-2022-0494)

    Hu Jiahui discovered that multiple race conditions existed in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)
    framework, leading to use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could use these to cause a denial
    of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1048)

    It was discovered that the implementation of the 6pack and mkiss protocols in the Linux kernel did not
    handle detach events properly in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local
    attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1195)

    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)

    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)

    Norbert Slusarek discovered that a race condition existed in the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel,
    resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial
    of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1729)

    It was discovered that the Marvell NFC device driver implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly
    perform memory cleanup operations in some situations, 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-2022-1734)

    Duoming Zhou discovered a race condition in the NFC subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-
    free vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)
    or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1974)

    Duoming Zhou discovered that the NFC subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly prevent context
    switches from occurring during certain atomic context operations. A privileged local attacker could use
    this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1975)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the floppy driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition in some
    situations, 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-2022-33981)

    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)
