The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2024:0876 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c in the IGB driver in the Linux kernel     before 6.5.3. A buffer size may not be adequate for frames larger than the MTU. (CVE-2023-45871)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If a class with a link-sharing curve     (i.e. with the HFSC_FSC flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing curve, then init_vf() will call     vttree_insert() on the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in update_vf(). This leaves a dangling     pointer that can cause a use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit     b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f. (CVE-2023-4623)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending     network packets triggers use-after-free in qfq_dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch_plug     and lack of error checking in agg_dequeue(). We recommend upgrading past commit     8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8. (CVE-2023-4921)

  - An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transport Layer Security functionality     in how a user calls a function splice with a ktls socket as the destination. This flaw allows a local user     to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2024-0646)

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

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6651-2 advisory.

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) subsystem of the     Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51780)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AppleTalk networking subsystem of the Linux kernel,     leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51781)

    Zhenghan Wang discovered that the generic ID allocator implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     check for null bitmap when releasing IDs. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2023-6915)

    Robert Morris discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly validate certain server commands fields, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2024-0565)

    Jann Horn discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the release     of certain buffer rings. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-0582)

    Jann Horn discovered that the TLS subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle spliced messages,     leading to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-0646)
