It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-127 advisory.

    2024-11-13: CVE-2023-52735 was added to this advisory.

    2024-08-01: CVE-2023-52646 was added to this advisory.

    2024-06-19: CVE-2023-52707 was added to this advisory.

    2023-07-05: CVE-2023-1281 was added to this advisory.

    A regression exists in the Linux Kernel within KVM: nVMX that allowed for speculative execution attacks.
    L2 can carry out Spectre v2 attacks on L1 due to L1 thinking it doesn't need retpolines or IBPB after     running L2 due to KVM (L0) advertising eIBRS support to L1. An attacker at L2 with code execution can     execute code on an indirect branch on the host machine. We recommend upgrading to Kernel 6.2 or past     commit 2e7eab81425a (CVE-2022-2196)

    Detected a few exploitable gadgets that could leak secret memory through a side-channel such as MDS as     well as insufficient hardening of the usercopy functions against spectre-v1. (CVE-2023-0458)

    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)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    aio: fix mremap after fork null-deref (CVE-2023-52646)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    sched/psi: Fix use-after-free in ep_remove_wait_queue() (CVE-2023-52707)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    bpf, sockmap: Don't let sock_map_{close,destroy,unhash} call itself (CVE-2023-52735)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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