It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-039 advisory.

    Amazon Linux has been made aware of a potential Branch Target Injection (BTI) issue (sometimes referred to     as Spectre variant 2). This is a known cross-domain transient execution attack where a third party may     seek to cause a disclosure gadget to be speculatively executed after an indirect branch prediction.
    Generally, actors who attempt transient execution attacks do not have access to the data on the hosts they     attempt to access (e.g. where privilege-level isolation is in place). For such attacks to succeed, actors     need to be able to run code on the (virtual) machine hosting the data in which they are interested.

    To mitigate this issue, Amazon Linux recommends that customers disable unprivileged eBPF.  This     configuration, having the unprivileged eBPF disabled, is the current default for most Linux distributions     and as of this advisory, is also the default for all Amazon Linux kernels.

    Specific mitigations for various CPUs are listed below.

    Intel CPUs:For Intel CPUs, this applies to all instance types that have CPUs with eIBRS support. They     are:*6i* (all sizes), c5d.metal, c5.metal, g4dn.metal, i3en.metal, m5*.metal, r5*.metal

    Vectors outside of unprivileged eBPF are not currently known, and Intel recommends disabling unprivileged     BPF, as mentioned above. However, optionally enabling spectre_v2=eibrs,lfence on Linux kernel command     line on the instance types mentioned above, would provide additional protection.

    AMD CPUs:As part of the investigation triggered by this issue, AMD now recommends using a different     software mitigation inside the Linux kernel, which the Amazon Linux kernel is enabling by default. This     means that the Linux kernel will use the generic retpoline software mitigation, instead of the specialized     AMD one, on AMD instances (*5a*). This is done by default, and no administrator action is needed.

    ARM CPUs:The Amazon Linux kernel now enables, by default, a software mitigation for this issue, on all     ARM-based EC2 instance types.

    Non-transparent sharing of branch predictor selectors between contexts in some Intel(R) Processors may     allow an authorized user to potentially enable information disclosure. (CVE-2022-0001)

    (CVE-2021-3609)

  - A flaw was found in the Routing decision classifier in the Linux kernel's Traffic Control networking     subsystem in the way it handled changing of classification filters, leading to a use-after-free condition.
    This flaw allows unprivileged local users to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3715)

  - arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.5 on the powerpc platform allows KVM guest     OS users to cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs, aka CID-f62f3c20647e. (CVE-2021-37576)

  - net/sunrpc/xdr.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (xdr_set_page_base slab-out-of-bounds access) by performing many NFS 4.2 READ_PLUS operations.
    (CVE-2021-38201)

  - A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket     file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race     condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
    This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.16-rc4. (CVE-2021-4083)

  - A data leak flaw was found in the way XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL in the XFS filesystem allowed for size     increase of files with unaligned size. A local attacker could use this flaw to leak data on the XFS     filesystem otherwise not accessible to them. (CVE-2021-4155)

  - A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's cgroup_release_agent_write in the     kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c function. This flaw, under certain circumstances, allows the use of the cgroups     v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation unexpectedly.
    (CVE-2022-0492)

  - A flaw was found in the way the flags member of the new pipe buffer structure was lacking proper     initialization in copy_page_to_iter_pipe and push_pipe functions in the Linux kernel and could thus     contain stale values. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to write to pages in the page cache     backed by read only files and as such escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-0847)

  - A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in IPsec ESP transformation code in net/ipv4/esp4.c and     net/ipv6/esp6.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with a normal user privilege to overwrite kernel heap     objects and may cause a local privilege escalation threat. (CVE-2022-27666)

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