The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.156-102.160. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2024-049 advisory.

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

    net: dsa: fix panic when DSA master device unbinds on shutdown (CVE-2022-48808)

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

    nfsd: call op_release, even when op_func returns an error (CVE-2023-53241)

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

    NFSD: fix leaked reference count of nfsd4_ssc_umount_item (CVE-2023-53381)

    nfsd: clean up potential nfsd_file refcount leaks in COPY codepath (CVE-2023-53606)

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

    nfsd: fix RELEASE_LOCKOWNER (CVE-2024-26629)

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

    netfilter: nf_tables: disallow anonymous set with timeout flag (CVE-2024-26642)

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

    netfilter: nf_tables: mark set as dead when unbinding anonymous set with timeout (CVE-2024-26643)

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

    xen/events: close evtchn after mapping cleanup (CVE-2024-26687)

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

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

    vfio/pci: Create persistent INTx handler (CVE-2024-26812)

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

    af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect() (CVE-2024-26923)

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

    netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path

    The commit mutex should not be released during the critical sectionbetween nft_gc_seq_begin() and     nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GCworker could collect expired objects and get the released commit     lockwithin the same GC sequence.

    nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to loadmodule dependencies, then it goes back     to replay the transaction again.Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called.
