"The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-5978-1 advisory.

  - A regression exists in the Linux Kernel within KVM: nVMX that allowed for speculative execution attacks.
    L2 can carry out Spectre v2 attacks on L1 due to L1 thinking it doesn't need retpolines or IBPB after
    running L2 due to KVM (L0) advertising eIBRS support to L1. An attacker at L2 with code execution can
    execute code on an indirect branch on the host machine. We recommend upgrading to Kernel 6.2 or past
    commit 2e7eab81425a (CVE-2022-2196)

  - When SMT is enabled, certain AMD processors may speculatively execute instructions using a target from the
    sibling thread after an SMT mode switch potentially resulting in information disclosure. (CVE-2022-27672)

  - A use-after-free flaw caused by a race among the superblock operations in the gadgetfs Linux driver was
    found. It could be triggered by yanking out a device that is running the gadgetfs side. (CVE-2022-4382)

  - A flaw NULL Pointer Dereference in the Linux kernel NTFS3 driver function attr_punch_hole() was found. A
    local user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2022-4842)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network
    subcomponent in the Linux kernel. This flaw causes the system to crash. (CVE-2023-0394)

  - A memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's human interface device (HID) subsystem in how a
    user inserts a malicious USB device. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their
    privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1073)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol. This issue may
    occur when a user starts a malicious networking service and someone connects to this service. This could
    allow a local user to starve resources, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1074)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel. The tls_is_tx_ready() incorrectly checks for list emptiness,
    potentially accessing a type confused entry to the list_head, leaking the last byte of the confused field
    that overlaps with rec->tx_ready. (CVE-2023-1075)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The
    rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() uses list_entry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user
    can trigger this with rds_message_put(). Type confusion leads to `struct rds_msg_zcopy_info *info`
    actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger
    this, which causes an out of bounds access, and a lock corruption. (CVE-2023-1078)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) allows Privilege
    Escalation. The imperfect hash area can be updated while packets are traversing, which will cause a use-
    after-free when 'tcf_exts_exec()' is called with the destroyed tcf_ext. A local attacker user can use this
    vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root. This issue affects Linux Kernel: from 4.14 before git
    commit ee059170b1f7e94e55fa6cadee544e176a6e59c2. (CVE-2023-1281)

  - 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)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.1.13, there is a double free in net/mpls/af_mpls.c upon an allocation failure
    (for registering the sysctl table under a new location) during the renaming of a device. (CVE-2023-26545)

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