It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-510 advisory.

  - Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of multiple parts. While not really     useful, except for the initial part any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides     a certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are directly translated into what     Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of     length zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code. (CVE-2023-46838)

  - A Null pointer dereference problem was found in ida_free in lib/idr.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue may     allow an attacker using this library to cause a denial of service problem due to a missing check at a     function return. (CVE-2023-6915)

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