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-5318-1 advisory.

  • Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts in some Intel® Processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0001)

  • Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor within a context in some Intel® Processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-0002)

  • Certain Arm Cortex and Neoverse processors through 2022-03-08 do not properly restrict cache speculation, aka Spectre-BHB. An attacker can leverage the shared branch history in the Branch History Buffer (BHB) to influence mispredicted branches. Then, cache allocation can allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2022-23960)

  • net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the Linux kernel 5.4 through 5.6.10 allows local users to gain privileges because of a heap out-of-bounds write. This is related to nf_tables_offload. (CVE-2022-25636)

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