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:

    ext4: block range must be validated before use in ext4_mb_clear_bb() (CVE-2022-50021)

    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.

    We recommend upgrading past commit fd0815f632c24878e325821943edccc7fde947a2. (CVE-2023-2235)

    An issue was discovered in arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.8. nVMX on x86_64     lacks consistency checks for CR0 and CR4. (CVE-2023-30456)

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.

  - loop: Fix use-after-free issues do_req_filebacked() calls blk_mq_complete_request() synchronously or     asynchronously when using asynchronous I/O unless memory allocation fails. Hence, modify loop_handle_cmd()     such that it does not dereference 'cmd' nor 'rq' after do_req_filebacked() finished unless we are sure     that the request has not yet been completed. This patch fixes the following kernel crash: Unable to handle     kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000054 Call trace: css_put.42938+0x1c/0x1ac     loop_process_work+0xc8c/0xfd4 loop_rootcg_workfn+0x24/0x34 process_one_work+0x244/0x558     worker_thread+0x400/0x8fc kthread+0x16c/0x1e0 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 (CVE-2023-53111)

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