The version of bcc installed on the remote host is prior to 0.24.0-3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2551 advisory.

If kernel headers need to be extracted, bcc will attempt to load them from a temporary directory. An     unprivileged attacker could use this to force bcc to load compromised linux headers. Linux distributions     which provide kernel headers by default are not affected by default. (CVE-2024-2314)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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