"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-6923-2 advisory.
Benedict Schlter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that an untrusted
hypervisor could inject malicious #VC interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP.
This flaw is known as WeSee. A local attacker in control of the hypervisor could use this to expose
sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code in the trusted execution environment.
(CVE-2024-25742)
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:
- TTY drivers;
- SMB network file system;
- Netfilter;
- Bluetooth subsystem; (CVE-2024-26886, CVE-2023-52752, CVE-2024-36016, CVE-2024-26952, CVE-2024-27017)
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.");
