The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.93-55.139. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2024-037 advisory.

    2024-06-06: CVE-2023-0386 was added to this advisory.

    2024-02-15: CVE-2022-4129 was added to this advisory.

    2024-02-15: CVE-2023-3567 was added to this advisory.

    2024-02-15: CVE-2023-3161 was added to this advisory.

    2024-02-15: CVE-2023-1652 was added to this advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). A missing lock when clearing     sk_user_data can lead to a race condition and NULL pointer dereference. A local user could use this flaw     to potentially crash the system causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-4129)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with     capabilities was found in the Linux kernel's OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from     a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their privileges     on the system. (CVE-2023-0386)

    A memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's human interface device (HID) subsystem in how a     user inserts a malicious USB device. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their     privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1073)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul in fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.c in the NFS filesystem in the     Linux Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system or it may lead to a kernel     information leak problem. (CVE-2023-1652)

    In the Linux kernel 6.0.8, there is a use-after-free in inode_cgwb_move_to_attached in fs/fs-writeback.c,     related to __list_del_entry_valid. (CVE-2023-26605)

    A flaw was found in the Framebuffer Console (fbcon) in the Linux Kernel. When providing a font->width and     font->height greater than 32 to the fbcon_set_font, since there are no checks in place, a shift-out-of-     bounds occurs, leading to undefined behavior and possible denial of service. (CVE-2023-3161)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

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.
