It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-160 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking     configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action mirred) a local unprivileged user     could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a     retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4269)

    A NULL pointer dereference has been discovered in the Linux Kernel, in io_file_bitmap_get in     io_uring/filetable.c. (CVE-2023-1583)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in btrfs_search_slot in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in btrfs in the Linux Kernel.This     flaw allows an attacker to crash the system and possibly cause a kernel information lea (CVE-2023-1611)

    An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver.

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.

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found in io_file_bitmap_get in io_uring/filetable.c in the io_uring sub-     component in the Linux Kernel. When fixed files are unregistered, some context information     (file_alloc_{start,end} and alloc_hint) is not cleared. A subsequent request that has auto index selection     enabled via IORING_FILE_INDEX_ALLOC can cause a NULL pointer dereference. An unprivileged user can use the     flaw to cause a system crash. (CVE-2023-1583)

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