  - 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 vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this issue
    is the function del_timer of the file drivers/isdn/mISDN/l1oip_core.c of the component Bluetooth. The
    manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier
    of this vulnerability is VDB-211088. (CVE-2022-3565)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrm_expand_policies in
    net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice. (CVE-2022-36879)

  - drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c in usbmon in the Linux kernel before 5.19.15 and 6.x before 6.0.1 allows a user-
    space client to corrupt the monitor's internal memory. (CVE-2022-43750)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in __nfs42_ssc_open() in fs/nfs/nfs4file.c in the Linux kernel.
    This flaw allows an attacker to conduct a remote denial (CVE-2022-4379)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.0.11. Missing offset validation in
    drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/hif.c in the WILC1000 wireless driver can trigger an out-of-bounds
    read when parsing a Robust Security Network (RSN) information element from a Netlink packet.
    (CVE-2022-47520)

  - 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)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel which can be exploited to achieve local
    privilege escalation. To reach the vulnerability kernel configuration flag CONFIG_TLS or
    CONFIG_XFRM_ESPINTCP has to be configured, but the operation does not require any privilege. There is a
    use-after-free bug of icsk_ulp_data of a struct inet_connection_sock. When CONFIG_TLS is enabled, user can
    install a tls context (struct tls_context) on a connected tcp socket. The context is not cleared if this
    socket is disconnected and reused as a listener. If a new socket is created from the listener, the context
    is inherited and vulnerable. The setsockopt TCP_ULP operation does not require any privilege. We recommend
    upgrading past commit 2c02d41d71f90a5168391b6a5f2954112ba2307c (CVE-2023-0461)

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