"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-5884-1 advisory.

  - A data leak flaw was found in the way XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS filesystem allowed for size
    increase of files with unaligned size. A local attacker could use this flaw to leak data on the XFS
    filesystem otherwise not accessible to them. (CVE-2021-4155)

  - In l2cap_chan_put of l2cap_core, there is a possible use after free due to improper locking. This could
    lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is
    not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-165329981References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20566)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in
    progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to
    crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

  - There is an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_parse_conf_req
    function which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely. We recommend upgrading past commit
    https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1a2cd50c0357f243b7435a732b4e62ba3157a2e
    https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42895)

  - The current implementation of the prctl syscall does not issue an IBPB immediately during the syscall. The
    ib_prctl_set function updates the Thread Information Flags (TIFs) for the task and updates the SPEC_CTRL
    MSR on the function __speculation_ctrl_update, but the IBPB is only issued on the next schedule, when the
    TIF bits are checked. This leaves the victim vulnerable to values already injected on the BTB, prior to
    the prctl syscall. The patch that added the support for the conditional mitigation via prctl
    (ib_prctl_set) dates back to the kernel 4.9.176. We recommend upgrading past commit
    a664ec9158eeddd75121d39c9a0758016097fa96 (CVE-2023-0045)

  - In rndis_query_oid in drivers/net/wireless/rndis_wlan.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.5, there is an
    integer overflow in an addition. (CVE-2023-23559)

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