"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-4342-1 advisory.

  - drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c in the Linux kernel 5.2.14 does not check the
    alloc_workqueue return value, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2019-16234)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.4.0-rc2, there is a use-after-free (read) in the __blk_add_trace function in
    kernel/trace/blktrace.c (which is used to fill out a blk_io_trace structure and place it in a per-cpu sub-
    buffer). (CVE-2019-19768)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.5.8, get_raw_socket in drivers/vhost/net.c lacks validation of an sk_family
    field, which might allow attackers to trigger kernel stack corruption via crafted system calls.
    (CVE-2020-10942)

  - In the Linux kernel 4.19 through 5.6.7 on the s390 platform, code execution may occur because of a race
    condition, as demonstrated by code in enable_sacf_uaccess in arch/s390/lib/uaccess.c that fails to protect
    against a concurrent page table upgrade, aka CID-3f777e19d171. A crash could also occur. (CVE-2020-11884)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through 5.5.2 in the n_tty_receive_buf_common
    function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c. (CVE-2020-8648)

  - ext4_protect_reserved_inode in fs/ext4/block_validity.c in the Linux kernel through 5.5.3 allows attackers
    to cause a denial of service (soft lockup) via a crafted journal size. (CVE-2020-8992)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.5.6. set_fdc in drivers/block/floppy.c leads to
    a wait_til_ready out-of-bounds read because the FDC index is not checked for errors before assigning it,
    aka CID-2e90ca68b0d2. (CVE-2020-9383)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
