"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the USN-6976-1 advisory.

    Yuxuan Hu discovered that the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol driver in the Linux Kernel contained a race
    condition, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
    service (system crash). (CVE-2024-22099)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to
    a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a
    denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24860)

    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:

    - SuperH RISC architecture;

    - User-Mode Linux (UML);

    - GPU drivers;

    - HID subsystem;

    - MMC subsystem;

    - Network drivers;

    - PHY drivers;

    - SCSI drivers;

    - USB subsystem;

    - Xen hypervisor drivers;

    - GFS2 file system;

    - Memory management;

    - Bluetooth subsystem;

    - IPv4 networking;

    - IPv6 networking;

    - NFC subsystem;

    - HD-audio driver;

    - ALSA SH drivers; (CVE-2023-52806, CVE-2021-46924, CVE-2021-47521, CVE-2021-47542, CVE-2024-26903,
