It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-156 advisory.

  - containerd is an open source container runtime. A bug was found in the containerd's CRI implementation     where programs inside a container can cause the containerd daemon to consume memory without bound during     invocation of the `ExecSync` API. This can cause containerd to consume all available memory on the     computer, denying service to other legitimate workloads. Kubernetes and crictl can both be configured to     use containerd's CRI implementation; `ExecSync` may be used when running probes or when executing     processes via an exec facility. This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.6 and 1.5.13. Users should     update to these versions to resolve the issue. Users unable to upgrade should ensure that only trusted     images and commands are used. (CVE-2022-31030)

  - Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable software containerization. A bug was found in     Moby (Docker Engine) where supplementary groups are not set up properly. If an attacker has direct access     to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use supplementary     group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access to sensitive     information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container. This bug is fixed in Moby (Docker     Engine) 20.10.18. Running containers should be stopped and restarted for the permissions to be fixed. For     users unable to upgrade, this problem can be worked around by not using the `USER $USERNAME` Dockerfile     instruction. Instead by calling `ENTRYPOINT [su, -, user]` the supplementary groups will be set up     properly. (CVE-2022-36109)

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