The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.273-140.502. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1577 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
