    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service, or information     leak.

    CVE-2022-2196

        A regression was discovered the KVM implementation for Intel CPUs,         affecting Spectre v2 mitigation for nested virtualisation.  When         KVM was used as the L0 hypervisor, an L2 guest could exploit this         to leak sensitive information from its L1 hypervisor.

    CVE-2022-3424

        Zheng Wang and Zhuorao Yang reported a flaw in the SGI GRU driver         which could lead to a use-after-free.  On systems where this driver         is used, a local user can explit this for denial of service (crash         or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

        This driver is not enabled in Debian's official kernel         configurations.

    CVE-2022-3707

        Zheng Wang reported a flaw in the i915 graphics driver's         virtualisation (GVT-g) support that could lead to a double-free.
        On systems where this feature is used, a guest can exploit this         for denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for         privilege escalation.

    CVE-2022-4129

        Haowei Yan reported a race condition in the L2TP protocol         implementation which could lead to a null pointer dereference.  A         local user could exploit this for denial of service (crash).

    CVE-2022-4379

        Xingyuan Mo reported a flaw in the NFSv4.2 inter server to         server copy implementation which could lead to a use-after-free.

        This feature is not enabled in Debian's official kernel         configurations.

    CVE-2023-0045

        Rodrigo Branco and Rafael Correa De Ysasi reported that when a         user-space task told the kernel to enable Spectre v2 mitigation         for it, the mitigation was not enabled until the task was next         rescheduled.  This might be exploitable by a local or remote         attacker to leak sensitive information from such an application.

    CVE-2023-0458

        Jordy Zimmer and Alexandra Sandulescu found that getrlimit() and         related system calls were vulnerable to speculative execution         attacks such as Spectre v1.  A local user could explot this to         leak sensitive information from the kernel.

    CVE-2023-0459

        Jordy Zimmer and Alexandra Sandulescu found a regression in         Spectre v1 mitigation in the user-copy functions for the amd64         (64-bit PC) architecture.  Where the CPUs do not implement SMAP or         it is disabled, a local user could exploit this to leak sensitive         information from the kernel.  Other architectures may also be         affected.

    CVE-2023-0461

        slipper reported a flaw in the kernel's support for ULPs (Upper         Layer Protocols) on top of TCP that can lead to a double-free when         using kernel TLS sockets.  A local user can exploit this for         denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for         privilege escalation.

        Kernel TLS is not enabled in Debian's official kernel         configurations.

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

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2023:2951 advisory.

  - Some AMD CPUs may transiently execute beyond unconditional direct branches, which may potentially result     in data leakage. (CVE-2021-26341)

  - When sending malicous data to kernel by ioctl cmd FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO,kernel will write memory out of     bounds. (CVE-2021-33655)

  - When setting font with malicous data by ioctl cmd PIO_FONT,kernel will write memory out of bounds.
    (CVE-2021-33656)

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TeleTYpe subsystem. The issue occurs in how a     user triggers a race condition using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK and TIOCGPTPEER and TIOCSTI and TCXONC with leakage     of memory in the flush_to_ldisc function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or read     unauthorized random data from memory. (CVE-2022-1462)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Atheros wireless adapter driver in the way a user     forces the ath9k_htc_wait_for_target function to fail with some input messages. This flaw allows a local     user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-1679)

  - With shadow paging enabled, the INVPCID instruction results in a call to kvm_mmu_invpcid_gva. If INVPCID     is executed with CR0.PG=0, the invlpg callback is not set and the result is a NULL pointer dereference.
    (CVE-2022-1789)

  - In ip_check_mc_rcu of igmp.c, there is a possible use after free due to improper locking. This could lead     to local escalation of privilege when opening and closing inet sockets with no additional execution     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android     kernelAndroid ID: A-112551163References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20141)

  - A regression exists in the Linux Kernel within KVM: nVMX that allowed for speculative execution attacks.
    L2 can carry out Spectre v2 attacks on L1 due to L1 thinking it doesn't need retpolines or IBPB after     running L2 due to KVM (L0) advertising eIBRS support to L1. An attacker at L2 with code execution can     execute code on an indirect branch on the host machine. We recommend upgrading to Kernel 6.2 or past     commit 2e7eab81425a (CVE-2022-2196)

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.16.10, certain binary files may have the exec-all attribute if they were     built in approximately 2003 (e.g., with GCC 3.2.2 and Linux kernel 2.4.20). This can cause execution of     bytes located in supposedly non-executable regions of a file. (CVE-2022-25265)

  - An issue was found in the Linux kernel in nf_conntrack_irc where the message handling can be confused and     incorrectly matches the message. A firewall may be able to be bypassed when users are using unencrypted     IRC with nf_conntrack_irc configured. (CVE-2022-2663)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem)     when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. This flaw could allow a local attacker to     potentially trigger an out-of-bounds write or leak kernel heap memory by performing an out-of-bounds read     and copying it into a socket. (CVE-2022-3028)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.17.2 mishandles seccomp permissions. The PTRACE_SEIZE code path allows attackers     to bypass intended restrictions on setting the PT_SUSPEND_SECCOMP flag. (CVE-2022-30594)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel video4linux driver was found in the way user triggers     em28xx_usb_probe() for the Empia 28xx based TV cards. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system     or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-3239)

  - A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel Broadcom Full MAC Wi-Fi driver. This issue occurs     when a user connects to a malicious USB device. This can allow a local user to crash the system or     escalate their privileges. (CVE-2022-3628)

  - A double-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The Intel GVT-g graphics driver triggers VGA card     system resource overload, causing a fail in the intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page function. This issue could     allow a local user to crash the system. (CVE-2022-3707)

  - An issue was discovered in include/asm-generic/tlb.h in the Linux kernel before 5.19. Because of a race     condition (unmap_mapping_range versus munmap), a device driver can free a page while it still has stale     TLB entries. This only occurs in situations with VM_PFNMAP VMAs. (CVE-2022-39188)

  - An issue was discovered the x86 KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.18.17. Unprivileged guest users     can compromise the guest kernel because TLB flush operations are mishandled in certain KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED     situations. (CVE-2022-39189)

  - In drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.10, there is a use-after-free caused     by refcount races, affecting dvb_demux_open and dvb_dmxdev_release. (CVE-2022-41218)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). A missing lock when clearing     sk_user_data can lead to a race condition and NULL pointer dereference. A local user could use this flaw     to potentially crash the system causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-4129)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.19.16. Attackers able to inject WLAN frames could     cause a buffer overflow in the ieee80211_bss_info_update function in net/mac80211/scan.c. (CVE-2022-41674)

  - mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel before 5.19.7 has a use-after-free related to leaf anon_vma double reuse.
    (CVE-2022-42703)

  - Various refcounting bugs in the multi-BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel 5.1 through     5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by local attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to trigger use-after-     free conditions to potentially execute code. (CVE-2022-42720)

  - A list management bug in BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel 5.1 through 5.19.x before     5.19.16 could be used by local attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to corrupt a linked list and, in     turn, potentially execute code. (CVE-2022-42721)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.8 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16, local attackers able to inject WLAN frames into the     mac80211 stack could cause a NULL pointer dereference denial-of-service attack against the beacon     protection of P2P devices. (CVE-2022-42722)

  - drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c in usbmon in the Linux kernel before 5.19.15 and 6.x before 6.0.1 allows a user-     space client to corrupt the monitor's internal memory. (CVE-2022-43750)

  - In the Linux kernel before 6.1.6, a NULL pointer dereference bug in the traffic control subsystem allows     an unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted traffic control     configuration that is set up with tc qdisc and tc class commands. This affects qdisc_graft in     net/sched/sch_api.c. (CVE-2022-47929)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in rawv6_push_pending_frames in net/ipv6/raw.c in the network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel. This flaw causes the system to crash. (CVE-2023-0394)

  - There is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel which can be exploited to achieve local     privilege escalation. To reach the vulnerability kernel configuration flag CONFIG_TLS or     CONFIG_XFRM_ESPINTCP has to be configured, but the operation does not require any privilege. There is a     use-after-free bug of icsk_ulp_data of a struct inet_connection_sock. When CONFIG_TLS is enabled, user can     install a tls context (struct tls_context) on a connected tcp socket. The context is not cleared if this     socket is disconnected and reused as a listener. If a new socket is created from the listener, the context     is inherited and vulnerable. The setsockopt TCP_ULP operation does not require any privilege. We recommend     upgrading past commit 2c02d41d71f90a5168391b6a5f2954112ba2307c (CVE-2023-0461)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in reconn_set_ipaddr_from_hostname in fs/cifs/connect.c in the Linux     kernel. The issue occurs when it forgets to set the free pointer server->hostname to NULL, leading to an     invalid pointer request. (CVE-2023-1195)

  - A race problem was found in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the memory management sub-component in the Linux kernel.
    This issue may allow a local attacker with user privilege to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1582)

  - cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial     of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes     indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results). (CVE-2023-23454)

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