"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.

    Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero
    erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of
    service (system crash). (CVE-2023-31085)

    Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some
    attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-39189)

    Sunjoo Park discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate u32
    packets content, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause
    a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-39192)

    Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate SCTP
    data, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of
    service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-39193)

    Lucas Leong discovered that the Netlink Transformation (XFRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
    properly handle state filters, leading to an out- of-bounds read vulnerability. A privileged local
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive
    information. (CVE-2023-39194)

    Kyle Zeng discovered that the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket
    buffers (skb) when performing IP routing in certain circumstances, leading to a null pointer dereference
    vulnerability. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-42754)

    It was discovered that the USB ENE card reader driver in the Linux kernel did not properly allocate enough
    memory when processing the storage device boot blocks. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
    of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-45862)

    Manfred Rudigier discovered that the Intel(R) PCI-Express Gigabit (igb) Ethernet driver in the Linux
    kernel did not properly validate received frames that are larger than the set MTU size, leading to a
    buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
    possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-45871)

    Budimir Markovic discovered that the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle event
    groups, leading to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
    of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-5717)
