Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2023-6595 advisory.

 - Improper access control for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2022-27635, CVE-2022-40964)

 - A side channel vulnerability on some of the AMD CPUs may allow an attacker to influence the return address prediction. This may result in speculative execution at an attacker-controlled?address, potentially leading to information disclosure. (CVE-2023-20569)

 - Improper input validation in some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2022-38076)

 - Improper input validation in some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access. (CVE-2022-36351)

 - Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi software may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2022-46329)

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