"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-5116-2 advisory.

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Atheros Ath9k WiFi driver in the Linux kernel. An
    attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (WiFi network traffic). (CVE-2020-3702)

    Alois Wohlschlager discovered that the overlay file system in the Linux kernel did not restrict private
    clones in some situations. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-3732)

    It was discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly compute the
    access permissions for shadow pages in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
    of service. (CVE-2021-38198)

    It was discovered that the Xilinx 10/100 Ethernet Lite device driver in the Linux kernel could report
    pointer addresses in some situations. An attacker could use this information to ease the exploitation of
    another vulnerability. (CVE-2021-38205)

    It was discovered that the ext4 file system in the Linux kernel contained a race condition when writing
    xattrs to an inode. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly gain
    administrative privileges. (CVE-2021-40490)

    It was discovered that the 6pack network protocol driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform
    validation checks. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-42008)

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
