It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-132 advisory.

    It has been discovered that on some AMD CPUs, the RAS (Return Address Stack, also called RAP - Return     Address Predictor - in some AMD documentation, and RSB - Return Stack Buffer - in Intel terminology) is     dynamically partitioned between non-idle threads.  This allows an attacker to control speculative     execution on the adjacent thread. (CVE-2022-27672)

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

    ovl: Use buf flexible array for memcpy() destination (CVE-2022-49743)

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

    mm/uffd: fix pte marker when fork() without fork event (CVE-2022-49744)

    The upstream bug report describes this issue as follows:

    A flaw found in the Linux Kernel in RDS (Reliable Datagram Sockets) protocol. The     rds_rm_zerocopy_callback() uses list_entry() on the head of a list causing a type confusion. Local user     can trigger this with rds_message_put(). Type confusion leads to `struct rds_msg_zcopy_info *info`     actually points to something else that is potentially controlled by local user. It is known how to trigger     this, which causes an OOB access, and a lock corruption. (CVE-2023-1078)

    A flaw was found in the Framebuffer Console (fbcon) in the Linux Kernel. When providing a font->width and     font->height greater than 32 to the fbcon_set_font, since there are no checks in place, a shift-out-of-     bounds occurs, leading to undefined behavior and possible denial of service. (CVE-2023-3161)

    brcm_nvram_parse in drivers/nvmem/brcm_nvram.c lacks check of the return value of kzalloc() and will cause     the NULL Pointer Dereference (CVE-2023-3359)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

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: fscache: Use wait_on_bit() to wait for     the freeing of relinquished volume The freeing of relinquished volume will wake up the pending volume     acquisition by using wake_up_bit(), however it is mismatched with wait_var_event() used in     fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() and it will never wake up the waiter in the wait-queue because these     two functions operate on different wait-queues. According to the implementation in     fscache_wait_on_volume_collision(), if the wake-up of pending acquisition is delayed longer than 20     seconds (e.g., due to the delay of on-demand fd closing), the first wait_var_event_timeout() will timeout     and the following wait_var_event() will hang forever as shown below: FS-Cache: Potential volume collision     new=00000024 old=00000022 ...... INFO: task mount:1148 blocked for more than 122 seconds. Not tainted     6.1.0-rc6+ #1 task:mount state:D stack:0 pid:1148 ppid:1 Call Trace: <TASK> __schedule+0x2f6/0xb80     schedule+0x67/0xe0 fscache_wait_on_volume_collision.cold+0x80/0x82 __fscache_acquire_volume+0x40d/0x4e0     erofs_fscache_register_volume+0x51/0xe0 [erofs] erofs_fscache_register_fs+0x19c/0x240 [erofs]     erofs_fc_fill_super+0x746/0xaf0 [erofs] vfs_get_super+0x7d/0x100 get_tree_nodev+0x16/0x20     erofs_fc_get_tree+0x20/0x30 [erofs] vfs_get_tree+0x24/0xb0 path_mount+0x2fa/0xa90 do_mount+0x7c/0xa0
    __x64_sys_mount+0x8b/0xe0 do_syscall_64+0x30/0x60 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Considering     that wake_up_bit() is more selective, so fix it by using wait_on_bit() instead of wait_var_event() to wait     for the freeing of relinquished volume. In addition because waitqueue_active() is used in wake_up_bit()     and clear_bit() doesn't imply any memory barrier, use clear_and_wake_up_bit() to add the missing memory     barrier between cursor->flags and waitqueue_active(). (CVE-2023-52982)

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