"The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the USN-6318-1 advisory.

  - Information exposure through microarchitectural state after transient execution in certain vector
    execution units for some Intel(R) Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable
    information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-40982)

  - An issue in Zen 2 CPUs, under specific microarchitectural circumstances, may allow an attacker to
    potentially access sensitive information. (CVE-2023-20593)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32 component can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. If tcf_change_indev() fails, u32_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 04c55383fa5689357bcdd2c8036725a55ed632bc.
    (CVE-2023-3609)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. Flaw in the error handling of bound chains causes a use-after-free in
    the abort path of NFT_MSG_NEWRULE. The vulnerability requires CAP_NET_ADMIN to be triggered. We recommend
    upgrading past commit 4bedf9eee016286c835e3d8fa981ddece5338795. (CVE-2023-3610)

  - 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.
    (CVE-2023-3776)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. When nf_tables_delrule() is flushing table rules, it is not checked
    whether the chain is bound and the chain's owner rule can also release the objects in certain
    circumstances. We recommend upgrading past commit 6eaf41e87a223ae6f8e7a28d6e78384ad7e407f8.
    (CVE-2023-3777)

  - Rejected reason: This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is a
    duplicate of CVE-2023-4147. (CVE-2023-3995)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter in the way a user triggers the
    nft_pipapo_remove function with the element, without a NFT_SET_EXT_KEY_END. This issue could allow a local
    user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-4004)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. On an error when building a nftables rule, deactivating immediate
    expressions in nft_immediate_deactivate() can lead unbinding the chain and objects be deactivated but
    later used. We recommend upgrading past commit 0a771f7b266b02d262900c75f1e175c7fe76fec2. (CVE-2023-4015)
