The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5780-1 advisory.

It was discovered that a memory leak existed in the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel. A local     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2022-3524)

It was discovered that the Bluetooth HCI implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate     memory in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this cause a denial of service (memory     exhaustion). (CVE-2022-3619)

It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform     bounds checking in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a malicious     USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3628)

Tams Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to expose     sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-42895)

Tams Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained     multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42896)

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.
