The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6896-3 advisory. It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet AoE driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An...

CVE-2024-40972

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: do not create EA inode under buffer lock ext4xattrsetentry creates new EA inodes while holding buffer lock on the external xattr block. This is problematic as it nests all the allocation locking which acquires locks on othe...

CVE-2024-40955

A slab-out-of-bounds vulnerability was found in the ext4 filesystem of the Linux kernel. This issue occurs when an excessively large value is set for smbgroupprealloc, leading to out-of-bounds reads in the ext4mbfindgoodgroupavgfraglists function. This issue can be triggered by setting a high...
