The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.152-100.162. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2024-040 advisory.

2024-06-06: CVE-2024-27417 was added to this advisory.

2024-05-23: CVE-2024-26782 was added to this advisory.

2024-04-25: CVE-2024-26603 was added to this advisory.

A flaw was found in the smb client in the Linux kernel. A potential out-of-bounds error was seen in the     smb2_parse_contexts() function. Validate offsets and lengths before dereferencing create contexts in     smb2_parse_contexts(). (CVE-2023-52434)

A vulnerability was discovered in the Linux kernel's IPv4 networking stack. Under certain conditions,     MPTCP and NetLabel can be configured in a way that triggers a double free memory error in     net/ipv4/af_inet.c:inet_sock_destruct(). This may lead to a system crash, denial of service, or potential     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2024-1627)

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

ext4: regenerate buddy after block freeing failed if under fc replay

This mostly reverts commit 6bd97bf273bd (ext4: remove redundantmb_regenerate_buddy()) and reintroduces     mb_regenerate_buddy(). Based oncode in mb_free_blocks(), fast commit replay can end up marking as     freeblocks that are already marked as such. This causes corruption of thebuddy bitmap so we need to     regenerate it in that case. (CVE-2024-26601)

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

x86/fpu: Stop relying on userspace for info to fault in xsave buffer

Before this change, the expected size of the user space buffer wastaken from fx_sw->xstate_size.
fx_sw->xstate_size can be changedfrom user-space, so it is possible construct a sigreturn frame where:

* fx_sw->xstate_size is smaller than the size required by valid bits infx_sw->xfeatures.* user-space     unmaps parts of the sigrame fpu buffer so that not all ofthe buffer required by xrstor is accessible.

In this case, xrstor tries to restore and accesses the unmapped areawhich results in a fault. But     fault_in_readable succeeds because buf +fx_sw->xstate_size is within the still mapped area, so it goes     back andtries xrstor again. It will spin in this loop forever.

Instead, fault in the maximum size which can be touched by XRSTOR (takenfrom fpstate->user_size).

[ dhansen: tweak subject / changelog ] (CVE-2024-26603)

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

mptcp: fix double-free on socket dismantle (CVE-2024-26782)

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

ipv6: fix potential struct net leak in inet6_rtm_getaddr() (CVE-2024-27417)

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.
