The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.149-73.259. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2024-073 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When reusing a socket with an attached dccps_hc_tx_ccid as a     listener, the socket will be used after being released leading to denial of service (DoS) or a potential     code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as     well as system availability. (CVE-2020-16119)

    A flaw in the processing of received ICMP errors (ICMP fragment needed and ICMP redirect) in the Linux     kernel functionality was found to allow the ability to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allows an     off-path remote user to effectively bypass the source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source     port randomization are indirectly affected as well. (CVE-2021-20322)

    A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. Missing size validations on inbound SCTP packets may allow     the kernel to read uninitialized memory. (CVE-2021-3655)

    In ip_check_mc_rcu of igmp.c, there is a possible use after free due to improper locking. This could lead     to local escalation of privilege when opening and closing inet sockets with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-112551163References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20141)

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.
