The NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager software on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko), where uncontrolled resource     consumption can be triggered by an unprivileged regular user, which may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2022-28191)   
  - NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko), where it may lead to a     use-after-free, which in turn may cause denial of service. This attack is complex to carry out because the     attacker needs to have control over freeing some host side resources out of sequence, which requires elevated     privileges. (CVE-2022-28192)   Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4752 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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.

  - NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko), where it may lead to     a use-after-free, which in turn may cause denial of service. This attack is complex to carry out because     the attacker needs to have control over freeing some host side resources out of sequence, which requires     elevated privileges. (CVE-2022-28192)

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