| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial' package(s) announced via the USN-6938-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that the device input subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly handle the case when an event code falls outside of a bitmap.
A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2022-48619)
Huang Si Cong discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure
conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-46343)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs.
A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)
Chenyuan Yang discovered that the Unsorted Block Images (UBI) flash device
volume management subsystem did not properly validate logical eraseblock
sizes in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-25739)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
