"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-6309-1 advisory.

  - A denial of service problem was found, due to a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a
    deadlock in table_clear in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux Kernel Device Mapper-Multipathing sub-
    component. (CVE-2023-2269)

  - A use after free flaw was found in hfsplus_put_super in fs/hfsplus/super.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw
    could allow a local user to cause a denial of service problem. (CVE-2023-2985)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c in the Linux kernel 6.2. There is a
    blocking operation when a task is in !TASK_RUNNING. In dvb_frontend_get_event, wait_event_interruptible is
    called; the condition is dvb_frontend_test_event(fepriv,events). In dvb_frontend_test_event,
    down(&fepriv->sem) is called. However, wait_event_interruptible would put the process to sleep, and
    down(&fepriv->sem) may block the process. (CVE-2023-31084)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux
    Kernel. This issue may allow an attacker with local user access to cause a system crash or leak internal
    kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited
    to achieve local privilege escalation. The qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c allows an out-
    of-bounds write because lmax is updated according to packet sizes without bounds checks. We recommend
    upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64. (CVE-2023-3611)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_set_parms() will immediately return an
    error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can
    control the reference counter and set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a
    use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f.
