"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the USN-6029-1 advisory.

  - An incorrect read request flaw was found in the Infrared Transceiver USB driver in the Linux kernel. This
    issue occurs when a user attaches a malicious USB device. A local user could use this flaw to starve the
    resources, causing denial of service or potentially crashing the system. (CVE-2022-3903)

  - A memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's human interface device (HID) subsystem in how a
    user inserts a malicious USB device. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their
    privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1073)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol. This issue may
    occur when a user starts a malicious networking service and someone connects to this service. This could
    allow a local user to starve resources, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1074)

  - Use After Free vulnerability in Linux kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) allows Privilege
    Escalation. The imperfect hash area can be updated while packets are traversing, which will cause a use-
    after-free when 'tcf_exts_exec()' is called with the destroyed tcf_ext. A local attacker user can use this
    vulnerability to elevate its privileges to root. This issue affects Linux Kernel: from 4.14 before git
    commit ee059170b1f7e94e55fa6cadee544e176a6e59c2. (CVE-2023-1281)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.1.13, there is a double free in net/mpls/af_mpls.c upon an allocation failure
    (for registering the sysctl table under a new location) during the renaming of a device. (CVE-2023-26545)

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