The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.269-183.369. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2024-061 advisory.

  - dm_table_create in drivers/md/dm-table.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.4 can attempt to (in     alloc_targets) allocate more than INT_MAX bytes, and crash, because of a missing check for struct     dm_ioctl.target_count. (CVE-2023-52429)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: prevent mss overflow in     skb_segment() Once again syzbot is able to crash the kernel in skb_segment() [1] GSO_BY_FRAGS is a     forbidden value, but unfortunately the following computation in skb_segment() can reach it quite easily :
    mss = mss * partial_segs; 65535 = 3 * 5 * 17 * 257, so many initial values of mss can lead to a bad final     result. Make sure to limit segmentation so that the new mss value is smaller than GSO_BY_FRAGS.

  - A vulnerability was found in vhost_new_msg in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel, which does not     properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the     vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This issue can allow local privileged users to read some kernel     memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file. (CVE-2024-0340)

  - A vulnerability was reported in the Open vSwitch sub-component in the Linux Kernel. The flaw occurs when a     recursive operation of code push recursively calls into the code block. The OVS module does not validate     the stack depth, pushing too many frames and causing a stack overflow. As a result, this can lead to a     crash or other related issues. (CVE-2024-1151)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Avoid potential     UAF in LPI translation cache There is a potential UAF scenario in the case of an LPI translation cache hit     racing with an operation that invalidates the cache, such as a DISCARD ITS command. The root of the     problem is that vgic_its_check_cache() does not elevate the refcount on the vgic_irq before dropping the     lock that serializes refcount changes. Have vgic_its_check_cache() raise the refcount on the returned     vgic_irq and add the corresponding decrement after queueing the interrupt. (CVE-2024-26598)

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