The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.112-108.499. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2023-036 advisory.

  - A denial of service (DOS) issue was found in the Linux kernel's smb2_ioctl_query_info function in the     fs/cifs/smb2ops.c Common Internet File System (CIFS) due to an incorrect return from the memdup_user     function. This flaw allows a local, privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) attacker to crash the system.
    (CVE-2022-0168)

  - A flaw was found in KVM. When updating a guest's page table entry, vm_pgoff was improperly used as the     offset to get the page's pfn. As vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by user-mode processes, this flaw     allows unprivileged local users on the host to write outside the userspace region and potentially corrupt     the kernel, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-1158)

  - A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This     flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a     leak of internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-1353)

  - In the Linux kernel before 5.17.3, fs/io_uring.c has a use-after-free due to a race condition in io_uring     timeouts. This can be triggered by a local user who has no access to any user namespace; however, the race     condition perhaps can only be exploited infrequently. (CVE-2022-29582)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A NULL pointer dereference may occur while a slip driver is in     progress to detach in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip/slip.c. This issue could allow an attacker to     crash the system or leak internal kernel information. (CVE-2022-41858)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's core dump subsystem. This flaw allows a local user     to crash the system. Only if patch 390031c94211 (coredump: Use the vma snapshot in fill_files_note) not     applied yet, then kernel could be affected. (CVE-2023-1249)

  - A flaw that boot CPU could be vulnerable for the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks in the     Linux kernel X86 CPU Power management options functionality was found in the way user resuming CPU from     suspend-to-RAM. A local user could use this flaw to potentially get unauthorized access to some memory of     the CPU similar to the speculative execution behavior kind of attacks. (CVE-2023-1637)

  - Improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer in some Intel(R) i915 Graphics     drivers for linux before kernel version 6.2.10 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable     escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2023-28410)

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