It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-228 advisory.

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

    binder: fix UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap() (CVE-2022-50240)

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

    binder: fix UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap() (CVE-2022-50338)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem within the RPL protocol's handling. This issue     results from the improper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion failure. This     flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the system.
    (CVE-2023-2156)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ipvlan network driver can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    The out-of-bounds write is caused by missing skb->cb  initialization in the ipvlan network driver. The     vulnerability is reachable if CONFIG_IPVLAN is enabled.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 90cbed5247439a966b645b34eb0a2e037836ea8e. (CVE-2023-3090)

    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)

    An issue was discovered in fl_set_geneve_opt in net/sched/cls_flower.c in the Linux kernel before 6.3.7.
    It allows an out-of-bounds write in the flower classifier code via TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_OPTS_GENEVE packets.
    This may result in denial of service or privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-35788)

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: net: skb_partial_csum_set() fix     against transport header magic value skb->transport_header uses the special 0xFFFF value to mark if the     transport header was set or not. We must prevent callers to accidentaly set skb->transport_header to     0xFFFF. Note that only fuzzers can possibly do this today. syzbot reported: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2340 at     include/linux/skbuff.h:2847 skb_transport_offset include/linux/skbuff.h:2956 [inline] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID:
