The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:0897 advisory.

  - A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability     is the function area_cache_get of the file drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfpcore/nfp_cppcore.c of the     component IPsec. The manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this     issue. The identifier VDB-211045 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3545)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

  - 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 vhost_net_set_backend in drivers/vhost/net.c in virtio network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel due to a double fget. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the     system, and could even lead to a kernel information leak problem. (CVE-2023-1838)

  - A null pointer dereference issue was found in can protocol in net/can/af_can.c in the Linux before Linux.
    ml_priv may not be initialized in the receive path of CAN frames. A local user could use this flaw to     crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2166)

  - A vulnerability was found in compare_netdev_and_ip in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in RDMA in the Linux     Kernel. The improper cleanup results in out-of-boundary read, where a local user can utilize this problem     to crash the system or escalation of privilege. (CVE-2023-2176)

  - An issue was discovered in l2cap_sock_release in net/bluetooth/l2cap_sock.c in the Linux kernel before     6.4.10. There is a use-after-free because the children of an sk are mishandled. (CVE-2023-40283)

  - 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_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If a class with a link-sharing curve     (i.e. with the HFSC_FSC flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing curve, then init_vf() will call     vttree_insert() on the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in update_vf(). This leaves a dangling     pointer that can cause a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit     b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f. (CVE-2023-4623)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, exploitable by local users with userspace access     to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES     emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory (and thus privilege     escalation). This depends on a race condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before     the #VC handler reads it. (CVE-2023-46813)

  - 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 heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If perf_read_group() is called while an     event's sibling_list is smaller than its child's sibling_list, it can increment or write to memory     locations outside of the allocated buffer. We recommend upgrading past commit     32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06. (CVE-2023-5717)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe driver. This issue may allow an unauthenticated malicious     actor to send a set of crafted TCP packages when using NVMe over TCP, leading the NVMe driver to a NULL     pointer dereference in the NVMe driver and causing kernel panic and a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6356)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe driver. This issue may allow an unauthenticated malicious     actor to send a set of crafted TCP packages when using NVMe over TCP, leading the NVMe driver to a NULL     pointer dereference in the NVMe driver, causing kernel panic and a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6535,     CVE-2023-6536)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in smbCalcSize in fs/smb/client/netmisc.c in the Linux     Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.
    (CVE-2023-6606)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in smb2_dump_detail in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in the Linux     Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.
    (CVE-2023-6610)

  - 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)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transport Layer Security functionality     in how a user calls a function splice with a ktls socket as the destination. This flaw allows a local user     to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2024-0646)
