The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.205-194.804. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2024-047 advisory.

    A race condition leading to a use-after-free issue was found in the QXL driver in the Linux kernel.
    (CVE-2023-39198)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.5.9. During a race with SQ thread exit, an     io_uring/fdinfo.c io_uring_show_fdinfo NULL pointer dereference can occur. (CVE-2023-46862)

    An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. This flaw     allows a remote attacker to send a crafted TCP packet, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow that     results in kmalloc data to be printed (and potentially leaked) to the kernel ring buffer (dmesg).
    (CVE-2023-6121)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    The function nft_pipapo_walk did not skip inactive elements during set walk which could lead double     deactivations of PIPAPO (Pile Packet Policies) elements, leading to use-after-free.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 317eb9685095678f2c9f5a8189de698c5354316a. (CVE-2023-6817)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Performance Events system component can be     exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

    A perf_event's read_size can overflow, leading to an heap out-of-bounds increment or write in     perf_read_group().

    We recommend upgrading past commit 382c27f4ed28f803b1f1473ac2d8db0afc795a1b. (CVE-2023-6931)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ipv4: igmp component can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation.

    A race condition can be exploited to cause a timer be mistakenly registered on a RCU read locked object     which is freed by another thread.

    We recommend upgrading past commit e2b706c691905fe78468c361aaabc719d0a496f1. (CVE-2023-6932)

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.
