An update of the linux package has been released.

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.156-102.160. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2024-049 advisory.

    nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to loadmodule dependencies, then it goes back     to replay the transaction again.Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-138 advisory.

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

    drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref due to drmm_mode_config_init() (CVE-2022-50556)

    A double-free vulnerability was found in the handling of IORING_OP_SOCKET operation with io_uring on the     Linux kernel. (CVE-2023-1032)

    Due to a type confusion during initializations, the tun and tap sockets in the Linux Kernel have their     socket UID hardcoded to 0, i.e. root. While it will be often correct, as TUN/TAP devices require     CAP_NET_ADMIN, it may not always be the case. The socket UID may be used for network filtering and     routing, thus TUN/TAP sockets may be incorrectly managed, potentially bypassing network filters based on     UID. (CVE-2023-1076)

    kernel: Type confusion in pick_next_rt_entity(), which can result in memory corruption. (CVE-2023-1077)

    A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel integrated infrared receiver/transceiver driver was found in the     way user detaching rc device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate     their privileges on the system. (CVE-2023-1118)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel traffic control index filter (tcindex) can be exploited     to achieve local privilege escalation. The tcindex_delete function which does not properly deactivate     filters in case of a perfect hashes while deleting the underlying structure which can later lead to double     freeing the structure. A local attacker user can use this vulnerability to elevate its privileges to     root.We recommend upgrading past commit 8c710f75256bb3cf05ac7b1672c82b92c43f3d28. (CVE-2023-1829)

    When plain IBRS is enabled (not enhanced IBRS), the logic in spectre_v2_user_select_mitigation()     determines that STIBP is not needed. The IBRS bit implicitly protects against cross-thread branch     targetinjection. However, with legacy IBRS, the IBRS bit is cleared on returning to userspace for     performance reasons which leaves userspace threads vulnerable to cross-thread branch target injection     against which STIBP protects. (CVE-2023-1998)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in hfsplus_put_super in fs/hfsplus/super.c in the Linux Kernel. This flaw     could allow a local user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2985)

    An issue was discovered in lib/kobject.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.3. With root access, an attacker     can trigger a race condition that results in a fill_kobj_path out-of-bounds write. (CVE-2023-45863)

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.

  - nfsd: clean up potential nfsd_file refcount leaks in COPY codepath There are two different flavors of the     nfsd4_copy struct. One is embedded in the compound and is used directly in synchronous copies. The other     is dynamically allocated, refcounted and tracked in the client struture. For the embedded one, the cleanup     just involves releasing any nfsd_files held on its behalf. For the async one, the cleanup is a bit more     involved, and we need to dequeue it from lists, unhash it, etc. There is at least one potential refcount     leak in this code now. If the kthread_create call fails, then both the src and dst nfsd_files in the     original nfsd4_copy object are leaked. The cleanup in this codepath is also sort of weird. In the async     copy case, we'll have up to four nfsd_file references (src and dst for both flavors of copy structure).
    They are both put at the end of nfsd4_do_async_copy, even though the ones held on behalf of the embedded     one outlive that structure. Change it so that we always clean up the nfsd_file refs held by the embedded     copy structure before nfsd4_copy returns. Rework cleanup_async_copy to handle both inter and intra copies.
    Eliminate nfsd4_cleanup_intra_ssc since it now becomes a no-op. (CVE-2023-53606)

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