The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:3705 advisory.

  • kernel: use-after-free vulnerability in the perf_group_detach function of the Linux Kernel Performance Events (CVE-2023-2235)

  • kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in nf_tables when processing batch requests can lead to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-32233)

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