The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.139-93.147. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-031 advisory.

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

    llc: verify mac len before reading mac header (CVE-2023-52843)

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

    hsr: Prevent use after free in prp_create_tagged_frame() (CVE-2023-52846)

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

    ext4: fix BUG in ext4_mb_new_inode_pa() due to overflow (CVE-2023-54069)

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

    The function nft_trans_gc_catchall did not remove the catchall set element from the catchall_list when the     argument sync is true, making it possible to free a catchall set element many times.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 93995bf4af2c5a99e2a87f0cd5ce547d31eb7630. (CVE-2023-6111)
