The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.5.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.5.3 advisory.

  - net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux kernel through 5.18.1 allows a local user (able to create     user/net namespaces) to escalate privileges to root because an incorrect NFT_STATEFUL_EXPR check leads to     a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-32250)

  - zlib through 1.2.12 has a heap-based buffer over-read or buffer overflow in inflate in inflate.c via a     large gzip header extra field. NOTE: only applications that call inflateGetHeader are affected. Some     common applications bundle the affected zlib source code but may be unable to call inflateGetHeader (e.g.,     see the nodejs/node reference). (CVE-2022-37434)

  - mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel before 5.19.7 has a use-after-free related to leaf anon_vma double reuse.
    (CVE-2022-42703)

  - A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SYSCTL subsystem in how a user changes certain     kernel parameters and variables. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-4378)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: Serialization). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 8u351, 8u351-perf;
    Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.8 and 21.3.4. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Oracle Java SE, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data.
    Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web     Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from     the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java     deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an     administrator). (CVE-2023-21830)

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