"The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-5564-1 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 implementation of POSIX timers in the Linux kernel did not properly clean up
    timers in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2585)

    It was discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly prevent writes to
    kernel objects in BPF_BTF_LOAD commands. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of
    service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0500)

    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)

    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)

    Yongkang Jia discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle
    guest TLB mapping invalidation requests in some situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to
    cause a denial of service (system crash) in the host OS. (CVE-2022-1789)

    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)

    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)

    Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered that for some AMD x86-64 processors, the branch predictor
    could by mis-trained for return instructions in certain circumstances. A local attacker could possibly use
    this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-29900)

    Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered that for some Intel x86-64 processors, the Linux kernel's
    protections against speculative branch target injection attacks were insufficient in some circumstances. A
    local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-29901)

    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)
