The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6766-3 advisory.

It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during     recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash). (CVE-2024-1151)

Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux     kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-0001) were     insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2024-2201)

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the RDS Protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-     bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service (system     crash). (CVE-2024-23849)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to     compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
