"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-4364-1 advisory.

    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 vhost net driver in the Linux kernel contained a stack buffer overflow. A local
    attacker with the ability to perform ioctl() calls on /dev/vhost-net could use this to cause a denial of
    service (system crash). (CVE-2020-10942)

    It was discovered that the Serial CAN interface driver in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize
    data. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-11494)

    It was discovered that the linux kernel did not properly validate certain mount options to the tmpfs
    virtual memory file system. A local attacker with the ability to specify mount options could use this to
    cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2020-11565)

    It was discovered that the OV51x USB Camera device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate
    device metadata. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
    crash). (CVE-2020-11608)

    It was discovered that the STV06XX USB Camera device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate
    device metadata. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
    crash). (CVE-2020-11609)

    It was discovered that the Xirlink C-It USB Camera device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly
    validate device metadata. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
    (system crash). (CVE-2020-11668)
