"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2024:1710164161 advisory.

  - A race condition in the x86 KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 6.1-rc6 allows guest OS users to
    cause a denial of service (host OS crash or host OS memory corruption) when nested virtualisation and the
    TDP MMU are enabled. (CVE-2022-45869)

  - A speculative pointer dereference problem exists in the Linux Kernel on the do_prlimit() function. The
    resource argument value is controlled and is used in pointer arithmetic for the 'rlim' variable and can be
    used to leak the contents. We recommend upgrading past version 6.1.8 or commit
    739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11 (CVE-2023-0458)

  - A flaw that boot CPU could be vulnerable for the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks in the
    Linux kernel X86 CPU Power management options functionality was found in the way user resuming CPU from
    suspend-to-RAM. A local user could use this flaw to potentially get unauthorized access to some memory of
    the CPU similar to the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks. (CVE-2023-1637)

  - The Linux kernel allows userspace processes to enable mitigations by calling prctl with
    PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL which disables the speculation feature as well as by using seccomp. We had noticed
    that on VMs of at least one major cloud provider, the kernel still left the victim process exposed to
    attacks in some cases even after enabling the spectre-BTI mitigation with prctl. The same behavior can be
    observed on a bare-metal machine when forcing the mitigation to IBRS on boot command line. This happened
    because when plain IBRS was enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the kernel had some logic that determined that
    STIBP was not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch target injection.
    However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit was cleared on returning to userspace, due to performance reasons,
    which disabled the implicit STIBP and left userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target
    injection against which STIBP protects. (CVE-2023-1998)

  - A vulnerability was found in the HCI sockets implementation due to a missing capability check in
    net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw allows an attacker to unauthorized execution of
    management commands, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Bluetooth
    communication. (CVE-2023-2002)

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