The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the kernel-5.14.0-474.el9 build changelog.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: guard against     invalid STA ID on removal Guard against invalid station IDs in iwl_mvm_mld_rm_sta_id as that would result     in out-of-bounds array accesses. This prevents issues should the driver get into a bad state during error     handling. (CVE-2024-36921)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: drop any code related to     SCM_RIGHTS This is dead code after we dropped support for passing io_uring fds over SCM_RIGHTS, get rid of     it. (CVE-2023-52656)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7921e: fix use-after-     free in free_irq() From commit a304e1b82808 ([PATCH] Debug shared irqs), there is a test to make sure     the shared irq handler should be able to handle the unexpected event after deregistration. For this case,     let's apply MT76_REMOVED flag to indicate the device was removed and do not run into the resource access     anymore.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath9k: delay all of     ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() until init is complete The ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() used in ath9k_htc assumes     that all the data structures have been fully initialised by the time it runs. However, because of the     order in which things are initialised, this is not guaranteed to be the case, because the device is     exposed to the USB subsystem before the ath9k driver initialisation is completed. We already committed a     partial fix for this in commit: 8b3046abc99e (ath9k_htc: fix NULL pointer dereference at     ath9k_htc_tx_get_packet()) However, that commit only aborted the WMI_TXSTATUS_EVENTID command in the     event tasklet, pairing it with an initialisation complete bit in the TX struct. It seems syzbot managed     to trigger the race for one of the other commands as well, so let's just move the existing synchronisation     bit to cover the whole tasklet (setting it at the end of ath9k_htc_probe_device() instead of inside     ath9k_tx_init()). (CVE-2024-26897)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: brcm80211: handle pmk_op     allocation failure The kzalloc() in brcmf_pmksa_v3_op() will return null if the physical memory has run     out. As a result, if we dereference the null value, the null pointer dereference bug will happen. Return
    -ENOMEM from brcmf_pmksa_v3_op() if kzalloc() fails for pmk_op. (CVE-2024-27048)

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.
