Oracle Linux 8 : Unbreakable Enterprise kernel (ELSA-2022-9930)

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2022-9930 advisory. - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem) when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. This flaw could allow a local attacker to potentially trigger an out-of-bounds write or leak kernel heap memory by performing an out-of-bounds read and copying it into a socket. (CVE-2022-3028) Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
