Amazon Linux 2 : kernel (ALAS-2022-1833)

Description

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.290-217.505. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1833 advisory. - When sending malicous data to kernel by ioctl cmd FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO,kernel will write memory out of bounds. (CVE-2021-33655) - The Linux kernel before 5.18.13 lacks a certain clear operation for the block starting symbol (.bss). This allows Xen PV guest OS users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges. (CVE-2022-36123) - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrm_expand_policies in net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice. (CVE-2022-36879) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
