"The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.305-155.531. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1706 advisory.

  - Guests can trigger NIC interface reset/abort/crash via netback It is possible for a guest to trigger a NIC
    interface reset/abort/crash in a Linux based network backend by sending certain kinds of packets. It
    appears to be an (unwritten?) assumption in the rest of the Linux network stack that packet protocol
    headers are all contained within the linear section of the SKB and some NICs behave badly if this is not
    the case. This has been reported to occur with Cisco (enic) and Broadcom NetXtrem II BCM5780 (bnx2x)
    though it may be an issue with other NICs/drivers as well. In case the frontend is sending requests with
    split headers, netback will forward those violating above mentioned assumption to the networking core,
    resulting in said misbehavior. (CVE-2022-3643)

  - Guests can trigger deadlock in Linux netback driver T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs;
    the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] The patch for XSA-392 introduced
    another issue which might result in a deadlock when trying to free the SKB of a packet dropped due to the
    XSA-392 handling (CVE-2022-42328). Additionally when dropping packages for other reasons the same deadlock
    could occur in case of netpoll being active for the interface the xen-netback driver is connected to
    (CVE-2022-42329). (CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329)

  - The current implementation of the prctl syscall does not issue an IBPB immediately during the syscall. The
    ib_prctl_set function updates the Thread Information Flags (TIFs) for the task and updates the SPEC_CTRL
    MSR on the function __speculation_ctrl_update, but the IBPB is only issued on the next schedule, when the
    TIF bits are checked. This leaves the victim vulnerable to values already injected on the BTB, prior to
    the prctl syscall. The patch that added the support for the conditional mitigation via prctl
    (ib_prctl_set) dates back to the kernel 4.9.176. We recommend upgrading past commit
    a664ec9158eeddd75121d39c9a0758016097fa96 (CVE-2023-0045)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network
    subcomponent in the Linux kernel. This flaw causes the system to crash. (CVE-2023-0394)

  - Copy_from_user on 64-bit versions of the Linux kernel does not implement the __uaccess_begin_nospec
    allowing a user to bypass the access_ok check and pass a kernel pointer to copy_from_user(). This would
    allow an attacker to leak information. We recommend upgrading beyond commit
    74e19ef0ff8061ef55957c3abd71614ef0f42f47 (CVE-2023-0459)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel which can be exploited to achieve local
    privilege escalation. To reach the vulnerability kernel configuration flag CONFIG_TLS or
    CONFIG_XFRM_ESPINTCP has to be configured, but the operation does not require any privilege. There is a
    use-after-free bug of icsk_ulp_data of a struct inet_connection_sock. When CONFIG_TLS is enabled, user can
    install a tls context (struct tls_context) on a connected tcp socket. The context is not cleared if this
    socket is disconnected and reused as a listener. If a new socket is created from the listener, the context
    is inherited and vulnerable. The setsockopt TCP_ULP operation does not require any privilege. We recommend
    upgrading past commit 2c02d41d71f90a5168391b6a5f2954112ba2307c (CVE-2023-0461)

  - A memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's human interface device (HID) subsystem in how a
    user inserts a malicious USB device. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their
    privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1073)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
