The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.349-188.564. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2024-1945 advisory.

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

kdb: Fix buffer overflow during tab-complete (CVE-2024-39480)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
