The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.299-223.520. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1888 advisory.

    In v4l2_m2m_querybuf of v4l2-mem2mem.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to improper input     validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-223375145References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20369)

    In pppol2tp_create of l2tp_ppp.c, there is a possible use after free due to a race condition. This could     lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not     needed for exploitation. (CVE-2022-20567)

    Non-transparent sharing of return predictor targets between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may allow     an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-26373)

    A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this vulnerability is the     function l2cap_reassemble_sdu of the file net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c of the component Bluetooth. The     manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated     identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211087. (CVE-2022-3564)

    There is an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_parse_conf_req     function which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely.
