It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-024 advisory.

    A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the legacy_parse_param function in the Filesystem     Context functionality of the Linux kernel verified the supplied parameters length. An unprivileged (in     case of unprivileged user namespaces enabled, otherwise needs namespaced CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege) local     user able to open a filesystem that does not support the Filesystem Context API (and thus fallbacks to     legacy handling) could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0185)

    The cgroup release_agent is called with call_usermodehelper. The function call_usermodehelper starts the     release_agent with a full set of capabilities. Therefore require capabilities when setting the     release_agent. (CVE-2022-0492)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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