It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1054 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. The     userspace data->block[0] variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a     memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to     crash the system or potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2023-2194)

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

    dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure (CVE-2023-53044)

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

    dm crypt: add cond_resched() to dmcrypt_write() (CVE-2023-53051)

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

    erspan: do not use skb_mac_header() in ndo_start_xmit() (CVE-2023-53053)

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

    fscrypt: destroy keyring after security_sb_delete() (CVE-2023-53055)

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

    igb: revert rtnl_lock() that causes deadlock (CVE-2023-53060)

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

    perf/core: Fix perf_output_begin parameter is incorrectly invoked in perf_event_bpf_output     (CVE-2023-53065)

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

    mptcp: use the workqueue to destroy unaccepted sockets (CVE-2023-53072)

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

    perf/x86/amd/core: Always clear status for idx (CVE-2023-53073)

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

    xsk: Add missing overflow check in xdp_umem_reg (CVE-2023-53080)

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

    nfsd: don't replace page in rq_pages if it's a continuation of last page (CVE-2023-53083)

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

    mptcp: fix UaF in listener shutdown (CVE-2023-53088)

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

    tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers (CVE-2023-53093)

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.

We can re-use the existing MPTCP_WORK_CLOSE_SUBFLOW infra, explicitly checking     that for the critical scenario: the closed subflow is the MPC one, the msk is not accepted and eventually     going through full cleanup. With such change, __mptcp_destroy_sock() is always called on msk sockets, even     on accepted ones. We don't need anymore to transiently drop one sk reference at msk clone time. Please     note this commit depends on the parent one: mptcp: refactor passive socket initialization (CVE-2023-53072)
