"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the USN-6252-1 advisory.

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/ext4/namei.c:dx_insert_block() in the Linux kernel's filesystem sub-
    component. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user privilege to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2022-1184)

  - 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 use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This
    flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea (CVE-2023-1611)

  - 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 flaw was found in xen_9pfs_front_removet in net/9p/trans_xen.c in Xen transport for 9pfs
    in the Linux Kernel. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system due to a race problem,
    possibly leading to a kernel information leak. (CVE-2023-1859)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in ndlc_remove in drivers/nfc/st-nci/ndlc.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw
    could allow an attacker to crash the system due to a race problem. (CVE-2023-1990)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS file system in how a user restores
    an XFS image after failure (with a dirty log journal). This flaw allows a local user to crash or
    potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-2124)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb initialization in
    the ipvlan network driver. The vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled. We recommend
    upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

  - A use after free vulnerability was found in prepare_to_relocate in fs/btrfs/relocation.c in btrfs in the
    Linux Kernel. This possible flaw can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance() before calling
    btrfs_ioctl_defrag(). (CVE-2023-3111)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in r592_remove in drivers/memstick/host/r592.c in media access in the
    Linux Kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system at device disconnect, possibly leading
    to a kernel information leak. (CVE-2023-3141)

  - An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel in relay_file_read_start_pos in
    kernel/relay.c in the relayfs. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel
    internal information. (CVE-2023-3268)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem in
    net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. Mishandled error handling with NFT_MSG_NEWRULE makes it possible to use a
    dangling pointer in the same transaction causing a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows a local
    attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue. We recommend upgrading past commit
    1240eb93f0616b21c675416516ff3d74798fdc97. (CVE-2023-3390)

  - Linux Kernel nftables Out-Of-Bounds Read/Write Vulnerability; nft_byteorder poorly handled vm register
    contents when CAP_NET_ADMIN is in any user or network namespace (CVE-2023-35001)

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