The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6742-2 advisory.

Daniele Antonioli discovered that the Secure Simple Pairing and Secure Connections pairing in the     Bluetooth protocol could allow an unauthenticated user to complete authentication without pairing     credentials. A physically proximate attacker placed between two Bluetooth devices could use this to     subsequently impersonate one of the paired devices. (CVE-2023-24023)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to     compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:

- JFS file system;

- Netfilter; (CVE-2024-26581, CVE-2023-52600, CVE-2023-52603)

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 applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
