The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ext4: block range must be validated before use in ext4_mb_clear_bb() Block range to free is validated in     ext4_free_blocks() using ext4_inode_block_valid() and then it's passed to ext4_mb_clear_bb(). However in     some situations on bigalloc file system the range might be adjusted after the validation in     ext4_free_blocks() which can lead to troubles on corrupted file systems such as one found by syzkaller     that resulted in the following BUG kernel BUG at fs/ext4/ext4.h:3319!

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.104-63.140. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-019 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel Performance Events system can be exploited to achieve     local privilege escalation.

    The perf_group_detach function did not check the event's siblings' attach_state before calling     add_event_to_groups(), but remove_on_exec made it possible to call list_del_event() on before detaching     from their group, making it possible to use a dangling pointer causing a use-after-free vulnerability.
