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-7039-1 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;

- Input Device (Tablet) drivers;

- Modular ISDN driver;

- Multiple devices driver;

- Network drivers;

- Near Field Communication (NFC) drivers;

- SCSI drivers;

- GCT GDM724x LTE driver;

- USB subsystem;

- VFIO drivers;

- GFS2 file system;

- JFS file system;

- NILFS2 file system;

- Networking core;

- IPv4 networking;

- L2TP protocol;

- Netfilter;

- RxRPC session sockets; (CVE-2024-26651, CVE-2024-38583, CVE-2023-52527, CVE-2024-26880, CVE-2022-48850,     CVE-2024-26733, CVE-2021-47188, CVE-2024-42154, CVE-2023-52809, CVE-2024-42228, CVE-2022-48863,     CVE-2022-48836, CVE-2022-48838, CVE-2024-26677, CVE-2024-27437, CVE-2022-48857, CVE-2022-48791,     CVE-2021-47181, CVE-2024-26851, CVE-2024-40902, CVE-2022-48851, CVE-2024-38570)

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.
