The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.104-63.140. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-019 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ext4: block range must be validated before use in ext4_mb_clear_bb() (CVE-2022-50021)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel Performance Events system can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation.

    The perf_group_detach function did not check the event's siblings' attach_state before calling     add_event_to_groups(), but remove_on_exec made it possible to call list_del_event() on before detaching     from their group, making it possible to use a dangling pointer causing a use-after-free vulnerability.
