The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.274-187.369. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2024-079 advisory.

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

    vt: fix memory overlapping when deleting chars in the buffer (CVE-2022-48627)

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

    netfilter: nf_tables: disallow timeout for anonymous sets (CVE-2023-52620)

    create_empty_lvol in drivers/mtd/ubi/vtbl.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.4 can attempt to allocate zero     bytes, and crash, because of a missing check for ubi->leb_size. (CVE-2024-25739)

    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:

    vfio/pci: Lock external INTx masking ops (CVE-2024-26810)

    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:

    vfio/platform: Create persistent IRQ handlers (CVE-2024-26813)

    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.
    (CVE-2024-26925)
