The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4210-1 advisory.

It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the 802.11 Wi-Fi configuration interface for the Linux     kernel when handling beacon settings. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-16746)

Nicolas Waisman discovered that the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel did not properly validate SSID     lengths. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2019-17133)

It was discovered that the ADIS16400 IIO IMU Driver for the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate     memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory     exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19060)

It was discovered that the Intel OPA Gen1 Infiniband Driver for the Linux kernel did not properly     deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19065)

It was discovered that the Cascoda CA8210 SPI 802.15.4 wireless controller driver for the Linux kernel did     not properly deallocate memory in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-19075)

Nicolas Waisman discovered that the Chelsio T4/T5 RDMA Driver for the Linux kernel performed DMA from a     kernel stack. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2019-17075)

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.
