"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-6014-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16.11. The mixed IPID assignment method with the
    hash-based IPID assignment policy allows an off-path attacker to inject data into a victim's TCP session
    or terminate that session. (CVE-2020-36516)

  - LFENCE/JMP (mitigation V2-2) may not sufficiently mitigate CVE-2017-5715 on some AMD CPUs.
    (CVE-2021-26401)

  - Rogue backends can cause DoS of guests via high frequency events T[his CNA information record relates to
    multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Xen offers the
    ability to run PV backends in regular unprivileged guests, typically referred to as driver domains.
    Running PV backends in driver domains has one primary security advantage: if a driver domain gets
    compromised, it doesn't have the privileges to take over the system. However, a malicious driver domain
    could try to attack other guests via sending events at a high frequency leading to a Denial of Service in
    the guest due to trying to service interrupts for elongated amounts of time. There are three affected
    backends: * blkfront patch 1, CVE-2021-28711 * netfront patch 2, CVE-2021-28712 * hvc_xen (console) patch
    3, CVE-2021-28713 (CVE-2021-28711, CVE-2021-28712, CVE-2021-28713)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A denial of service problem is identified if an extent tree is
    corrupted in a crafted ext4 filesystem in fs/ext4/extents.c in ext4_es_cache_extent. Fabricating an
    integer overflow, A local attacker with a special user privilege may cause a system crash problem which
    can lead to an availability threat. (CVE-2021-3428)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networking
    subsystem in the way the user closes the LR-WPAN connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the
    system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3659)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Measuring usage of the shared memory does not scale with large
    shared memory segment counts which could lead to resource exhaustion and DoS. (CVE-2021-3669)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's OverlayFS subsystem in the way the user mounts the TmpFS filesystem
    with OverlayFS. This flaw allows a local user to gain access to hidden files that should not be
    accessible. (CVE-2021-3732)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP
    association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and
    the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2021-3772)

  - A vulnerability was found in btrfs_alloc_tree_b in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c in the Linux kernel due to an
    improper lock operation in btrfs. In this flaw, a user with a local privilege may cause a denial of
    service (DOS) due to a deadlock problem. (CVE-2021-4149)

  - A use-after-free read flaw was found in sock_getsockopt() in net/core/sock.c due to SO_PEERCRED and
    SO_PEERGROUPS race with listen() (and connect()) in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, an attacker with a
    user privileges may crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2021-4203)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.15.3, fs/quota/quota_tree.c does not validate the block number in the quota
    tree (on disk). This can, for example, lead to a kernel/locking/rwsem.c use-after-free if there is a
    corrupted quota file. (CVE-2021-45868)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove in drivers/memstick/host/rtsx_usb_ms.c
    in memstick in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, a local attacker with a user privilege may impact system
    Confidentiality. This flaw affects kernel versions prior to 5.14 rc1. (CVE-2022-0487)

  - A kernel information leak flaw was identified in the scsi_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c in
    the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker with a special user privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN or
    CAP_SYS_RAWIO) to create issues with confidentiality. (CVE-2022-0494)

  - A flaw null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel UDF file system functionality was found in the way
    user triggers udf_file_write_iter function for the malicious UDF image. A local user could use this flaw
    to crash the system. Actual from Linux kernel 4.2-rc1 till 5.17-rc2. (CVE-2022-0617)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:nft_do_chain, which can cause a
    use-after-free. This issue needs to handle 'return' with proper preconditions, as it can lead to a kernel
    information leak problem caused by a local, unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2022-1016)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in drivers/net/hamradio. This flaw allows a
    local attacker with a user privilege to cause a denial of service (DOS) when the mkiss or sixpack device
    is detached and reclaim resources early. (CVE-2022-1195)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Amateur Radio AX.25 protocol functionality
    in the way a user connects with the protocol. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
    (CVE-2022-1205)

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TeleTYpe subsystem. The issue occurs in how a
    user triggers a race condition using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK and TIOCGPTPEER and TIOCSTI and TCXONC with leakage
    of memory in the flush_to_ldisc function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or read
    unauthorized random data from memory. (CVE-2022-1462)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's X.25 set of standardized network protocols
    functionality in the way a user terminates their session using a simulated Ethernet card and continued
    usage of this connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-1516)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFC core functionality due to a race condition
    between kobject creation and delete. This vulnerability allows a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN
    privilege to leak kernel information. (CVE-2022-1974)

  - There is a sleep-in-atomic bug in /net/nfc/netlink.c that allows an attacker to crash the Linux kernel by
    simulating a nfc device from user-space. (CVE-2022-1975)

  - In lg_probe and related functions of hid-lg.c and other USB HID files, there is a possible out of bounds
    read due to improper input validation. This could lead to local information disclosure if a malicious USB
    HID device were plugged in, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed
    for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-188677105References: Upstream
    kernel (CVE-2022-20132)

  - In verity_target of dm-verity-target.c, there is a possible way to modify read-only files due to a missing
    permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges
    needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid
    ID: A-234475629References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20572)

  - There are use-after-free vulnerabilities caused by timer handler in net/rose/rose_timer.c of linux that
    allow attackers to crash linux kernel without any privileges. (CVE-2022-2318)

  - The Linux kernel was found vulnerable out of bounds memory access in the
    drivers/video/fbdev/sm712fb.c:smtcfb_read() function. The vulnerability could result in local attackers
    being able to crash the kernel. (CVE-2022-2380)

  - Dm-verity is used for extending root-of-trust to root filesystems. LoadPin builds on this property to
    restrict module/firmware loads to just the trusted root filesystem. Device-mapper table reloads currently
    allow users with root privileges to switch out the target with an equivalent dm-linear target and bypass
    verification till reboot. This allows root to bypass LoadPin and can be used to load untrusted and
    unverified kernel modules and firmware, which implies arbitrary kernel execution and persistence for
    peripherals that do not verify firmware updates. We recommend upgrading past commit
    4caae58406f8ceb741603eee460d79bacca9b1b5 (CVE-2022-2503)

  - An issue was found in the Linux kernel in nf_conntrack_irc where the message handling can be confused and
    incorrectly matches the message. A firewall may be able to be bypassed when users are using unencrypted
    IRC with nf_conntrack_irc configured. (CVE-2022-2663)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel's LightNVM subsystem. The issue results from
    the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length
    heap-based buffer. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary
    code in the context of the kernel. The attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged
    code on the target system to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-2991)

  - Found Linux Kernel flaw in the i740 driver. The Userspace program could pass any values to the driver
    through ioctl() interface. The driver doesn't check the value of 'pixclock', so it may cause a divide by
    zero error. (CVE-2022-3061)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16-rc6. free_charger_irq() in
    drivers/power/supply/wm8350_power.c lacks free of WM8350_IRQ_CHG_FAST_RDY, which is registered in
    wm8350_init_charger(). (CVE-2022-3111)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel sound subsystem due to improper locking. It could lead
    to a NULL pointer dereference while handling the SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl. A privileged local user (root or
    member of the audio group) could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service
    condition (CVE-2022-3303)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel Broadcom Full MAC Wi-Fi driver. This issue occurs
    when a user connects to a malicious USB device. This can allow a local user to crash the system or
    escalate their privileges. (CVE-2022-3628)

  - An out-of-bounds(OOB) memory access vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in
    drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_kms.c in GPU component in the Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128
    (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing
    a denial of service(DoS). (CVE-2022-36280)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Linux Kernel. This issue affects
    the function nilfs_attach_log_writer of the file fs/nilfs2/segment.c of the component BPF. The
    manipulation leads to memory leak. The attack may be initiated remotely. It is recommended to apply a
    patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-211961 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3646)

  - 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)

  - An incorrect read request flaw was found in the Infrared Transceiver USB driver in the Linux kernel. This
    issue occurs when a user attaches a malicious USB device. A local user could use this flaw to starve the
    resources, causing denial of service or potentially crashing the system. (CVE-2022-3903)

  - An issue was discovered in include/asm-generic/tlb.h in the Linux kernel before 5.19. Because of a race
    condition (unmap_mapping_range versus munmap), a device driver can free a page while it still has stale
    TLB entries. This only occurs in situations with VM_PFNMAP VMAs. (CVE-2022-39188)

  - In drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.10, there is a use-after-free caused
    by refcount races, affecting dvb_demux_open and dvb_dmxdev_release. (CVE-2022-41218)

  - drivers/video/fbdev/smscufx.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition and resultant use-
    after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a USB device while calling open(), aka a race
    condition between ufx_ops_open and ufx_usb_disconnect. (CVE-2022-41849)

  - roccat_report_event in drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition
    and resultant use-after-free in certain situations where a report is received while copying a
    report->value is in progress. (CVE-2022-41850)

  - A flaw incorrect access control in the Linux kernel USB core subsystem was found in the way user attaches
    usb device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2022-4662)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.1.6, a NULL pointer dereference bug in the traffic control subsystem allows
    an unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted traffic control
    configuration that is set up with tc qdisc and tc class commands. This affects qdisc_graft in
    net/sched/sch_api.c. (CVE-2022-47929)

  - 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 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)

  - In nf_tables_updtable, if nf_tables_table_enable returns an error, nft_trans_destroy is called to free the
    transaction object. nft_trans_destroy() calls list_del(), but the transaction was never placed on a list
    -- the list head is all zeroes, this results in a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2023-1095)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel integrated infrared receiver/transceiver driver was found in the
    way user detaching rc device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate
    their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1118)

  - atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial
    of service because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition
    rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23455)

  - 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)

  - In the Linux kernel 6.0.8, there is an out-of-bounds read in ntfs_attr_find in fs/ntfs/attrib.c.
