The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.290-217.505. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2790 advisory.

    An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's framebuffer-based console driver     functionality in the way a user triggers ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO with malicious data. This flaw allows a     local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-33655)

    A memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XEN hypervisor for the virtual machine. This flaw     allows a local user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2022-36123)
