The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.10.196-185.743. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.10-2023-040 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel through 6.4.2. There is an out-of-bounds     and crash in read_descriptors in drivers/usb/core/sysfs.c. (CVE-2023-37453)

    nftables out-of-bounds read in nf_osf_match_one() (CVE-2023-39189)

    A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The xt_u32 module did not validate the     fields in the xt_u32 structure. This flaw allows a local privileged attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds     read by setting the size fields with a value beyond the array boundaries, leading to a crash or     information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39192)

    A flaw was found in the Netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel. The sctp_mt_check did not validate the     flag_count field. This flaw allows a local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds     read, leading to a crash or information disclosure. (CVE-2023-39193)

    The upstream commit describes this issue as follows:

    The missing IP_SET_HASH_WITH_NET0 macro in ip_set_hash_netportnet can lead to the use of wrong     `CIDR_POS(c)` for calculating array offsets, which can lead to integer underflow. As a result, it leads to     slab out-of-bound access. (CVE-2023-42753)

    An issue was discovered in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c in the IGB driver in the Linux kernel     before 6.5.3. A buffer size may not be adequate for frames larger than the MTU. (CVE-2023-45871)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_hfsc (HFSC qdisc traffic control)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

    If a class with a link-sharing curve (i.e. with the HFSC_FSC flag set) has a parent without a link-sharing     curve, then init_vf() will call vttree_insert() on the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in     update_vf(). This leaves a dangling pointer that can cause a use-after-free.

    We recommend upgrading past commit b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f. (CVE-2023-4623)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending network packets triggers use-after-free     in qfq_dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch_plug and lack of error checking in     agg_dequeue().

    We recommend upgrading past commit 8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8. (CVE-2023-4921)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c` in `nvmet_tcp_free_crypto` due to a     logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a malicious user to     cause a use-after-free and double-free problem, which may permit remote code execution or lead to local     privilege escalation in case that the attacker already has local privileges. (CVE-2023-5178)

    A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel API for the cryptographic algorithm     scatterwalk functionality. This issue occurs when a user constructs a malicious packet with specific     socket configuration, which could allow a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on     the system. (CVE-2023-6176)

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.

  - scsi: qla2xxx: Fix deletion race condition System crash when using debug kernel due to link list     corruption. The cause of the link list corruption is due to session deletion was allowed to queue up     twice. Here's the internal trace that show the same port was allowed to double queue for deletion on     different cpu. 20808683956 015 qla2xxx [0000:13:00.1]-e801:4: Scheduling sess ffff93ebf9306800 for     deletion 50:06:0e:80:12:48:ff:50 fc4_type 1 20808683957 027 qla2xxx [0000:13:00.1]-e801:4: Scheduling sess     ffff93ebf9306800 for deletion 50:06:0e:80:12:48:ff:50 fc4_type 1 Move the clearing/setting of deleted flag     lock. (CVE-2023-53615)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.
