The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux' package(s) announced via the USN-2759-1 advisory. It was discovered that an integer overflow error existed in the SCSI generic (sg) driver in the Linux kernel, which could cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges. Additionally, the vhost driver and the Linux kernel's perf subsystem were found to have vulnerabilities that could result in denial of service or resource exhaustion
