"The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the USN-6536-1 advisory.

    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)

    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)

    Yikebaer Aizezi discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-
    after-free vulnerability when handling inode extent metadata. An attacker could use this to construct a
    malicious ext4 file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2023-45898)

    Jason Wang discovered that the virtio ring implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle iov
    buffers in some situations. A local attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service
    (host system crash). (CVE-2023-5158)

    Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle queue
    initialization failures in certain situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2023-5178)

    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)
