The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.313-235.533. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2027 advisory.

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vhost_net_set_backend in drivers/vhost/net.c in virtio network     subcomponent in the Linux kernel due to a double fget. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the     system, and could even lead to a kernel information leak problem. (CVE-2023-1838)

    An insufficient permission check has been found in the Bluetooth subsystem ofthe Linux kernel when     handling ioctl system calls of HCI sockets. This causestasks without the proper CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     can easily mark HCI socketsas _trusted_. Trusted sockets are intended to enable the sending and     receivingof management commands and events, such as pairing or connecting with a newdevice.  As a result,     unprivileged users can acquire a trusted socket, leadingto unauthorized execution of management commands.
    The exploit requires onlythe presence of a set of commonly used setuid programs (e.g., su, sudo).
    (CVE-2023-2002)

    An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS file system in how a user restores     an XFS image after failure (with a dirty log journal). This flaw allows a local user to crash or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-2124)

    An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The     userspace data->block[0] variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a     memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2023-2194)

    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)

    The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in     drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/emac.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs an emac based device.
    (CVE-2023-33203)

    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-2022-3545

        It was discovered that the Netronome Flow Processor (NFP) driver         contained a use-after-free flaw in area_cache_get(), which may         result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

    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-2022-4744

        The syzkaller tool found a flaw in the TUN/TAP network driver,         which can lead to a double-free.  A local user can exploit this         for denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for         privilege escalation.

    CVE-2022-36280

        An out-of-bounds memory write vulnerability was discovered in the         vmwgfx driver, which may allow a local unprivileged user to cause         a denial of service (system crash).

    CVE-2022-41218

        Hyunwoo Kim reported a use-after-free flaw in the Media DVB core         subsystem caused by refcount races, which may allow a local user         to cause a denial of service or escalate privileges.

    CVE-2022-45934

        An integer overflow in l2cap_config_req() in the Bluetooth         subsystem was discovered, which may allow a physically proximate         attacker to cause a denial of service (system crash).

    CVE-2022-47929

        Frederick Lawler reported a NULL pointer dereference in the         traffic control subsystem allowing an unprivileged user to cause a         denial of service by setting up a specially crafted traffic         control configuration.

    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-2023-0266

        A use-after-free flaw in the sound subsystem due to missing         locking may result in denial of service or privilege escalation.
