"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-5562-1 advisory.

  - A kernel information leak flaw was identified in the scsi_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c in
    the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker with a special user privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN or
    CAP_SYS_RAWIO) to create issues with confidentiality. (CVE-2022-0494)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's sound subsystem in the way a user triggers
    concurrent calls of PCM hw_params. The hw_free ioctls or similar race condition happens inside ALSA PCM
    for other ioctls. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the
    system. (CVE-2022-1048)

  - Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a concurrency
    use-after-free flaw in the bad_flp_intr function. By executing a specially-crafted program, an attacker
    could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the
    system. (CVE-2022-1652)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Atheros wireless adapter driver in the way a user
    forces the ath9k_htc_wait_for_target function to fail with some input messages. This flaw allows a local
    user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-1679)

  - A flaw in Linux Kernel found in nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev() in drivers/nfc/nfcmrvl/main.c can lead to use
    after free both read or write when non synchronized between cleanup routine and firmware download routine.
    (CVE-2022-1734)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC core functionality due to a race condition
    between kobject creation and delete. This vulnerability allows a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN
    privilege to leak kernel information. (CVE-2022-1974)

  - There is a sleep-in-atomic bug in /net/nfc/netlink.c that allows an attacker to crash the Linux kernel by
    simulating a nfc device from user-space. (CVE-2022-1975)

  - It was discovered that a nft object or expression could reference a nft set on a different nft table,
    leading to a use-after-free once that table was deleted. (CVE-2022-2586)

  - It was discovered that the cls_route filter implementation in the Linux kernel would not remove an old
    filter from the hashtable before freeing it if its handle had the value 0. (CVE-2022-2588)

  - The SUNRPC subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.17.2 can call xs_xprt_free before ensuring that sockets
    are in the intended state. (CVE-2022-28893)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.9. A type confusion bug in nft_set_elem_init
    (leading to a buffer overflow) could be used by a local attacker to escalate privileges, a different
    vulnerability than CVE-2022-32250. (The attacker can obtain root access, but must start with an
    unprivileged user namespace to obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN access.) This can be fixed in nft_setelem_parse_data
    in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. (CVE-2022-34918)

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