The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.156-102.160. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2024-042 advisory.

2024-06-06: CVE-2024-35809 was added to this advisory.

2024-05-23: CVE-2024-26923 was added to this advisory.

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

af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect() (CVE-2024-26923)

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

netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path

The commit mutex should not be released during the critical sectionbetween nft_gc_seq_begin() and     nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GCworker could collect expired objects and get the released commit     lockwithin the same GC sequence.

nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to loadmodule dependencies, then it goes back     to replay the transaction again.Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called.
(CVE-2024-26925)

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

PCI/PM: Drain runtime-idle callbacks before driver removal (CVE-2024-35809)

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.
