The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.276-211.499. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2569 advisory.

2024-06-19: CVE-2022-1011 was added to this advisory.

2024-06-19: CVE-2022-1353 was added to this advisory.

2024-06-19: CVE-2022-41858 was added to this advisory.

2024-06-19: CVE-2023-1637 was added to this advisory.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE filesystem in the way a user triggers write().
This flaw allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to data from the FUSE filesystem, resulting in     privilege escalation. (CVE-2022-1011)

A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a     leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-1353)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel implementation of proxied virtualized TPM devices. On a system where     virtualized TPM devices are configured (this is not the default) a local attacker can create a use-after-     free and create a situation where it may be possible to escalate privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2977)

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 flaw that boot CPU could be vulnerable for the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks in the     Linux kernel X86 CPU Power management options functionality was found in the way user resuming CPU from     suspend-to-RAM. A local user could use this flaw to potentially get unauthorized access to some memory of     the CPU similar to the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks. (CVE-2023-1637)

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.
