"The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the USN-8817-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that some Arm processors could complete a broadcast translation lookaside buffer (TLB)
    invalidation before memory writes made through the invalidated translation were globally observed. A local
    attacker could possibly use this to write to memory after permission to do so had been revoked, bypassing
    memory protections or escalating privileges. (CVE-2025-10263)

    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:

    - ARM64 architecture;

    - InfiniBand drivers;

    - Network drivers;

    - TCM subsystem;

    - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol;

    - HSR network protocol;

    - IPv4 networking;

    - IPv6 networking;

    - Netfilter;

    - RDS protocol; (CVE-2026-53131, CVE-2026-53186, CVE-2026-53216, CVE-2026-53221, CVE-2026-53354,
