"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the USN-4658-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the binder IPC implementation in the Linux kernel,
    leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
    (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-0423)

    Daniele Antonioli, Nils Ole Tippenhauer, and Kasper Rasmussen discovered that legacy pairing and secure-
    connections pairing authentication in the Bluetooth protocol could allow an unauthenticated user to
    complete authentication without pairing credentials via adjacent access. A physically proximate attacker
    could use this to impersonate a previously paired Bluetooth device. (CVE-2020-10135)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the perf subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a
    use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker with access to the perf subsystem could use this to cause a
    denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-14351)

    It was discovered that the frame buffer implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some
    edge cases in software scrollback. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-14390)

    It was discovered that the netfilter connection tracker for netlink in the Linux kernel did not properly
    perform bounds checking in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
    (system crash). (CVE-2020-25211)

    It was discovered that the Rados block device (rbd) driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform
    privilege checks for access to rbd devices in some situations. A local attacker could use this to map or
    unmap rbd block devices. (CVE-2020-25284)

    It was discovered that the HDLC PPP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate input in
    some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-25643)

    It was discovered that the GENEVE tunnel implementation in the Linux kernel when combined with IPSec did
    not properly select IP routes in some situations. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive
    information (unencrypted network traffic). (CVE-2020-25645)

    Keyu Man discovered that the ICMP global rate limiter in the Linux kernel could be used to assist in
    scanning open UDP ports. A remote attacker could use to facilitate attacks on UDP based services that
    depend on source port randomization. (CVE-2020-25705)

    It was discovered that the framebuffer implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform range
    checks in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel
    memory). (CVE-2020-28915)

    It was discovered that Power 9 processors could be coerced to expose information from the L1 cache in
    certain situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-4788)
