An update of the linux package has been released.

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the kernel-5.14.0-347.el9 build changelog.

  - A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC protocol functionality in the way a user sends     a packet with malicious content where the number of domain member nodes is higher than the 64 allowed.
    This flaw allows a remote user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges if they have     access to the TIPC network. (CVE-2022-0435)

  - An issue was discovered in net/tipc/crypto.c in the Linux kernel before 5.14.16. The Transparent Inter-     Process Communication (TIPC) functionality allows remote attackers to exploit insufficient validation of     user-supplied sizes for the MSG_CRYPTO message type. (CVE-2021-43267)

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel, where a use-after-frees in nouveau's postclose() handler could     happen if removing device (that is not common to remove video card physically without power-off, but same     happens if unbind the driver). (CVE-2020-27820)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.16.11. The mixed IPID assignment method with the     hash-based IPID assignment policy allows an off-path attacker to inject data into a victim's TCP session     or terminate that session. (CVE-2020-36516)

  - A flaw in the processing of received ICMP errors (ICMP fragment needed and ICMP redirect) in the Linux     kernel functionality was found to allow the ability to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allows an     off-path remote user to effectively bypass the source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source     port randomization are indirectly affected as well. (CVE-2021-20322)

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Ext4 File System in how a user triggers several file     operations simultaneously with the overlay FS usage. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially     escalate their privileges on the system. Only if patch 9a2544037600 (ovl: fix use after free in struct     ovl_aio_req) not applied yet, the kernel could be affected. (CVE-2023-1252)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:8614 advisory.

    The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with     extremely high determinism requirements.
