The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.197-186.748. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2023-041 advisory.

    A flaw was found in rsvp_change(). The root cause is an slab-out-of-bound access, but since the offset to     the original pointer is an `unsign int` fully controlled by users, the behavior is usually a wild pointer     access. (CVE-2023-42755)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    Addition and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same transaction causes leads to use-after-     free.

    We recommend upgrading past commit f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325. (CVE-2023-5197)
