The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.285-215.501. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1813 advisory.

    A kernel information leak flaw was identified in the scsi_ioctl function in drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c in     the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local attacker with a special user privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN or     CAP_SYS_RAWIO) to create issues with confidentiality. (CVE-2022-0494)

    An information leak flaw was found in NFS over RDMA in the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/rpc_rdma.c function in     RPCRDMA_HDRLEN_MIN (7) (in rpcrdma_max_call_header_size, rpcrdma_max_reply_header_size). This flaw allows     an attacker with normal user privileges to leak kernel information. (CVE-2022-0812)

    Due to the small table perturb size, a memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TCP source port     generation algorithm in the net/ipv4/tcp.c function. This flaw allows an attacker to leak information and     may cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1012)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in fs/ext4/namei.c:dx_insert_block() in the Linux kernel's filesystem sub-     component. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user privilege to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2022-1184)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter subsystem in     net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with user access to cause a privilege     escalation issue. (CVE-2022-1966)

    A flaw was found in hw. Incomplete cleanup of multi-core shared buffers for some Intel(r) Processors may     allow an authenticated user to enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21123)

    A flaw was found in hw. Incomplete cleanup of microarchitectural fill buffers on some Intel(r) Processors     may allow an authenticated user to enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2022-21125)

    A flaw was found in hw. Incomplete cleanup in specific special register write operations for some     Intel Processors may allow an authenticated user to enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2022-21166)

    net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux kernel through 5.18.1 allows a local user (able to create     user/net namespaces) to escalate privileges to root because an incorrect NFT_STATEFUL_EXPR check leads to     a use-after-free. (CVE-2022-32250)

    The Linux kernel before 5.17.9 allows TCP servers to identify clients by observing what source ports are     used. (CVE-2022-32296)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.3 on powerpc 32-bit platforms. There is a buffer     overflow in ptrace PEEKUSER and POKEUSER (aka PEEKUSR and POKEUSR) when accessing floating point     registers. (CVE-2022-32981)

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

    nbd: fix io hung while disconnecting device (CVE-2022-49297)

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

    net: xfrm: unexport __init-annotated xfrm4_protocol_init() (CVE-2022-49345)

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

    ext4: fix bug_on in ext4_writepages (CVE-2022-49347)

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

    ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_rename_dir_prepare (CVE-2022-49349)

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

    ubi: ubi_create_volume: Fix use-after-free when volume creation failed (CVE-2022-49388)

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

    dlm: fix plock invalid read (CVE-2022-49407)

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

    drm/virtio: fix NULL pointer dereference in virtio_gpu_conn_get_modes (CVE-2022-49532)

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

    netfilter: conntrack: re-fetch conntrack after insertion (CVE-2022-49561)

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

    ext4: fix bug_on ext4_mb_use_inode_pa (CVE-2022-49708)

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

    ipv6: Fix signed integer overflow in l2tp_ip6_sendmsg (CVE-2022-49727)

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

    ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo() (CVE-2022-49731)
