The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial' package(s) announced via the USN-5343-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
Yiqi Sun and Kevin Wang discovered that the cgroups implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to the cgroups v1
release_agent feature. A local attacker could use this to gain
administrative privileges. (CVE-2022-0492)
It was discovered that the aufs file system in the Linux kernel did not
properly restrict mount namespaces, when mounted with the non-default
allow_userns option set. A local attacker could use this to gain
administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-2853)
It was discovered that the aufs file system in the Linux kernel did not
properly maintain POSIX ACL xattr data, when mounted with the non-default
allow_userns option. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain
elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-2854)
It was discovered that the f2fs file system in the Linux kernel did not
properly validate metadata in some situations. An attacker could use this
to construct a malicious f2fs image that, when mounted and operated on,
could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-19449)
It was discovered that the XFS file system implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly validate meta data in some circumstances. An
attacker could use this to construct a malicious XFS image that, when
mounted, could cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-12655)
Kiyin (Yin Liang ) discovered that the NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the
Linux kernel contained a reference counting error. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2020-25670)
Kiyin (Yin Liang ) discovered that the NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in certain error
situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(memory exhaustion). (CVE-2020-25671, CVE-2020-25672)
Kiyin (Yin Liang ) discovered that the NFC LLCP protocol implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle error conditions in some situations,
leading to an infinite loop. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2020-25673)
Mathy Vanhoef discovered that the Linux kernel's WiFi implementation
incorrectly handled EAPOL frames from unauthenticated senders. A physically
proximate attacker could inject malicious packets to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2020-26139)
Mathy Vanhoef discovered that the Linux kernel's WiFi implementation could
reassemble mixed encrypted and plaintext fragments. A physically proximate
attacker could possibly use this issue to inject packets or exfiltrate
selected fragments. (CVE-2020-26147)
It was discovered that the BR/EDR pin-code pairing procedure in the Linux
kernel was vulnerable to an impersonation attack. A physically proximate
attacker could possibly use this to pair to a device without knowledge of
the pin-code. (CVE-2020-26555)
It was discovered that the bluetooth subsystem in the ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]
