"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-6045-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking code. A use-after-free was found in the way the sch_sfb
    enqueue function used the socket buffer (SKB) cb field after the same SKB had been enqueued (and freed)
    into a child qdisc. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to crash the system, causing a denial of
    service. (CVE-2022-3586)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in Linux kernel before 5.19.2. This issue occurs in cmd_hdl_filter in
    drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl8712_cmd.c, allowing an attacker to launch a local denial of service attack and
    gain escalation of privileges. (CVE-2022-4095)

  - A remote denial of service vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC kernel module. The while
    loop in tipc_link_xmit() hits an unknown state while attempting to parse SKBs, which are not in the queue.
    Sending two small UDP packets to a system with a UDP bearer results in the CPU utilization for the system
    to instantly spike to 100%, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-1390)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet driver was found.A local
    user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2023-1670)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) can be exploited
    to achieve local privilege escalation. The tcindex_delete function which does not properly deactivate
    filters in case of a perfect hashes while deleting the underlying structure which can later lead to double
    freeing the structure. A local attacker user can use this vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root.
    We recommend upgrading past commit 8c710f75256bb3cf05ac7b1672c82b92c43f3d28. (CVE-2023-1829)

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