The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.299-223.520. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1888 advisory.

  • In v4l2_m2m_querybuf of v4l2-mem2mem.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to improper input validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-223375145References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20369)

  • In pppol2tp_create of l2tp_ppp.c, there is a possible use after free due to a race condition. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-186777253References:
    Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20567)

  • Non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel® Processors may allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-26373)

  • A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this vulnerability is the function l2cap_reassemble_sdu of the file net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c of the component Bluetooth. The manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211087. (CVE-2022-3564)

  • There is an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c’s l2cap_parse_conf_req function which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely. We recommend upgrading past commit https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1a2cd50c0357f243b7435a732b4e62ba3157a2e https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42895)

  • A use-after-free flaw was found in io_uring/poll.c in io_poll_check_events in the io_uring subcomponent in the Linux Kernel due to a race condition of poll_refs. This flaw may cause a NULL pointer dereference.
    (CVE-2023-0468)

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