The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.224-212.876. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2024-069 advisory.

2024-09-12: CVE-2024-42159 was added to this advisory.

2024-09-12: CVE-2024-44944 was added to this advisory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: use timestamp to check for set element timeout (CVE-2024-27397)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: mpi3mr: Sanitise num_phys (CVE-2024-42159)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/i915/gem: Fix Virtual Memory mapping boundaries calculation (CVE-2024-42259)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

devres: Fix memory leakage caused by driver API devm_free_percpu() (CVE-2024-43871)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mlxsw: spectrum_acl_erp: Fix object nesting warning (CVE-2024-43880)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: ctnetlink: use helper function to calculate expect ID (CVE-2024-44944)

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.
