The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.59-33.133. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2022-007 advisory.

    An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TeleTYpe subsystem. The issue occurs in how a     user triggers a race condition using ioctls TIOCSPTLCK and TIOCGPTPEER and TIOCSTI and TCXONC with leakage     of memory in the flush_to_ldisc function. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or read     unauthorized random data from memory. (CVE-2022-1462)

    A bug in the IMA subsystem was discovered which would incorrectly allow kexec to be used when kernel     lockdown was enabled (CVE-2022-21505)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrm_expand_policies in     net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice. (CVE-2022-36879)

    A memory corruption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter subsystem in the way a local user uses     the libnetfilter_queue when analyzing a corrupted network packet. This flaw allows a local user to crash     the system or a remote user to crash the system when the libnetfilter_queue is used by a local user.
    (CVE-2022-36946)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv4: Fix data-races around     sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_fields. While reading sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_fields, it can be changed     concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers. (CVE-2022-49576)

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