  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: Fix out-of-bound vmalloc access
    in imageblit This issue happens when a userspace program does an ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO passing the
    fb_var_screeninfo struct containing only the fields xres, yres, and bits_per_pixel with values. If this
    struct is the same as the previous ioctl, the vc_resize() detects it and doesn't call the resize_screen(),
    leaving the fb_var_screeninfo incomplete. And this leads to the updatescrollmode() calculates a wrong
    value to fbcon_display->vrows, which makes the real_y() return a wrong value of y, and that value,
    eventually, causes the imageblit to access an out-of-bound address value. To solve this issue I made the
    resize_screen() be called even if the screen does not need any resizing, so it will fix and fill the
    fb_var_screeninfo independently. (CVE-2021-47383)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: seg6: fix the iif in the IPv6 socket
    control block When an IPv4 packet is received, the ip_rcv_core(...) sets the receiving interface index
    into the IPv4 socket control block (v5.16-rc4, net/ipv4/ip_input.c line 510): IPCB(skb)->iif =
    skb->skb_iif; If that IPv4 packet is meant to be encapsulated in an outer IPv6+SRH header, the
    seg6_do_srh_encap(...) performs the required encapsulation. In this case, the seg6_do_srh_encap function
    clears the IPv6 socket control block (v5.16-rc4 net/ipv6/seg6_iptunnel.c line 163): memset(IP6CB(skb), 0,
    sizeof(*IP6CB(skb))); The memset(...) was introduced in commit ef489749aae5 (ipv6: sr: clear IP6CB(skb)
    on SRH ip4ip6 encapsulation) a long time ago (2019-01-29). Since the IPv6 socket control block and the
    IPv4 socket control block share the same memory area (skb->cb), the receiving interface index info is lost
    (IP6CB(skb)->iif is set to zero). As a side effect, that condition triggers a NULL pointer dereference if
    commit 0857d6f8c759 (ipv6: When forwarding count rx stats on the orig netdev) is applied. To fix that
    issue, we set the IP6CB(skb)->iif with the index of the receiving interface once again. (CVE-2021-47515)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the cxgb4 driver in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs when the
    cxgb4 device is detaching due to a possible rearming of the flower_stats_timer from the work queue. This
    flaw allows a local user to crash the system, causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2023-4133)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TUN/TAP functionality. This issue could allow a local user to
    bypass network filters and gain unauthorized access to some resources. The original patches fixing
    CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect or incomplete. The problem is that the following upstream commits -
    a096ccca6e50 (tun: tun_chr_open(): correctly initialize socket uid), - 66b2c338adce (tap: tap_open():
    correctly initialize socket uid), pass inode->i_uid to sock_init_data_uid() as the last parameter and
    that turns out to not be accurate. (CVE-2023-4194)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, sockmap: Don't let
    sock_map_{close,destroy,unhash} call itself sock_map proto callbacks should never call themselves by
    design. Protect against bugs like [1] and break out of the recursive loop to avoid a stack overflow in
    favor of a resource leak. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
    (CVE-2023-52735)

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