"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-6494-2 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/mtd/ubi/cdev.c in the Linux kernel 6.2. There is a divide-by-zero error
    in do_div(sz,mtd->erasesize), used indirectly by ctrl_cdev_ioctl, when mtd->erasesize is 0.
    (CVE-2023-31085)

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The nfnl_osf_add_callback function did
    not validate the user mode controlled opt_num field. This flaw allows a local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN)
    attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to a crash or information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39189)

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The xt_u32 module did not validate the
    fields in the xt_u32 structure. This flaw allows a local privileged attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds
    read by setting the size fields with a value beyond the array boundaries, leading to a crash or
    information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39192)

  - A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The sctp_mt_check did not validate the
    flag_count field. This flaw allows a local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds
    read, leading to a crash or information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39193)

  - A flaw was found in the XFRM subsystem in the Linux kernel. The specific flaw exists within the processing
    of state filters, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. This flaw allows a local
    privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read, potentially leading to an
    information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39194)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel ipv4 stack. The socket buffer (skb) was
    assumed to be associated with a device before calling __ip_options_compile, which is not always the case
    if the skb is re-routed by ipvs. This issue may allow a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to crash
    the system. (CVE-2023-42754)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/storage/ene_ub6250.c for the ENE UB6250 reader driver in the Linux
    kernel before 6.2.5. An object could potentially extend beyond the end of an allocation. (CVE-2023-45862)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c in the IGB driver in the Linux kernel
    before 6.5.3. A buffer size may not be adequate for frames larger than the MTU. (CVE-2023-45871)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf)
    component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If perf_read_group() is called while an
    event's sibling_list is smaller than its child's sibling_list, it can increment or write to memory
    locations outside of the allocated buffer. We recommend upgrading past commit
    32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06. (CVE-2023-5717)
