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-5622-1 advisory.

It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing     font or screen size, leading to an out-of- bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33655)

Moshe Kol, Amit Klein and Yossi Gilad discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel did not     provide sufficient randomization when calculating port offsets. An attacker could possibly use this to     expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-1012, CVE-2022-32296)

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 device-mapper verity (dm-verity) driver in the Linux kernel did not properly     verify targets being loaded into the device- mapper table. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2503)

Domingo Dirutigliano and Nicola Guerrera discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did     not properly handle rules that truncated packets below the packet header size. When such rules are in     place, a remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2022-36946)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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