In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs: drop peer group ids under namespace lock When cleaning up peer group ids in the failure path we need to make sure to hold on to the namespace lock. Otherwise another thread might just turn the mount from a shared into a non-shared mount concurrently.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - fs: drop peer group ids under namespace lock When cleaning up peer group ids in the failure path we need     to make sure to hold on to the namespace lock. Otherwise another thread might just turn the mount from a     shared into a non-shared mount concurrently. (CVE-2023-54128)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-169 advisory.
