The version of containerd installed on the remote host is prior to 1.4.13-2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2ECS-2023-023 advisory.

    A flaw was found in Moby (Docker Engine), where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities. This flaw allows an attacker with access to programs with     inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.
    Containers using Linux users and groups to perform privilege separation inside the container are most     directly impacted. (CVE-2022-24769)

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

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