The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon' package(s) announced via the USN-4228-1 advisory. It was discovered that multiple vulnerabilities existed in the Linux kernel including heap-based buffer overflows and use-after-free vulnerabilities, among others

systems in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose
sensitive information. (CVE-2019-18660)
It was discovered that Geschwister Schneider USB CAN interface driver in
the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain failure
conditions. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19052)
It was discovered that the driver for memoryless force-feedback input
devices in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A
physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-19524)
It was discovered that the PEAK-System Technik USB driver in the Linux
kernel did not properly sanitize memory before sending it to the device. A
physically proximate attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-19534)");
