The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6587-1 advisory.

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled memory when processing the     DeviceFocusEvent and ProcXIQueryPointer APIs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the X     Server to crash, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6816)

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled reattaching to a different master     device. An attacker could use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service,     or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-0229)

Olivier Fourdan and Donn Seeley discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly labeled GLX PBuffers when     used with SELinux. An attacker could use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of     service. (CVE-2024-0408)

Olivier Fourdan discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled the curser code when used with     SELinux. An attacker could use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-0409)

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled memory when processing the     XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent API. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash,     or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-21885)

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled devices being disabled. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-21886)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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