Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : Linux kernel vulnerabilities (USN-7021-3)

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-7021-3 advisory.

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:

- GPU drivers;

- BTRFS file system;

- F2FS file system;

- GFS2 file system;

- BPF subsystem;

- Netfilter;

- RxRPC session sockets;

- Integrity Measurement Architecture(IMA) framework; (CVE-2024-39494, CVE-2024-38570, CVE-2024-27012,     CVE-2024-39496, CVE-2024-42160, CVE-2024-41009, CVE-2024-42228, CVE-2024-26677)

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