"The remote Ubuntu 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
USN-6454-4 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. A race condition between IPSET_CMD_ADD
    and IPSET_CMD_SWAP can lead to a kernel panic due to the invocation of `__ip_set_put` on a wrong `set`.
    This issue may allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2023-42756)

  - Rejected reason: CVE-2023-4881 was wrongly assigned to a bug that was deemed to be a non-security issue by
    the Linux kernel security team. (CVE-2023-4881)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending
    network packets triggers use-after-free in qfq_dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch_plug
    and lack of error checking in agg_dequeue(). We recommend upgrading past commit
    8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8. (CVE-2023-4921)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to
    achieve local privilege escalation. Addition and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same
    transaction causes leads to use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit
    f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325. (CVE-2023-5197)

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