The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.5.5.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.5.5.7 advisory.

  - There are use-after-free vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_connect     and l2cap_le_connect_req functions which may allow code execution and leaking kernel memory (respectively)     remotely via Bluetooth. A remote attacker could execute code leaking kernel memory via Bluetooth if within     proximity of the victim. We recommend upgrading past commit https://www.google.com/url     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711f8c3fb3db61897080468586b970c87c61d9e4     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42896)

  - An issue was discovered in set_con2fb_map in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c in the Linux kernel before     6.2.12. Because an assignment occurs only for the first vc, the fbcon_registered_fb and fbcon_display     arrays can be desynchronized in fbcon_mode_deleted (the con2fb_map points at the old fb_info).
    (CVE-2023-38409)

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c in the IGB driver in the Linux kernel     before 6.5.3. A buffer size may not be adequate for frames larger than the MTU. (CVE-2023-45871)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending     network packets triggers use-after-free in qfq_dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch_plug     and lack of error checking in agg_dequeue(). We recommend upgrading past commit     8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8. (CVE-2023-4921)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_verdict_init() function allows positive values as drop error     within the hook verdict, and hence the nf_hook_slow() function can cause a double free vulnerability when     NF_DROP is issued with a drop error which resembles NF_ACCEPT. We recommend upgrading past commit     f342de4e2f33e0e39165d8639387aa6c19dff660. (CVE-2024-1086)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/membarrier: reduce the ability     to hammer on sys_membarrier On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall     slowdowns for everything. So put a lock on the path in order to serialize the accesses to prevent the     ability for this to be called at too high of a frequency and saturate the machine. (CVE-2024-26602)

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