The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.117-72.142. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-021 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel through 6.2.7, fs/ntfs3/inode.c has an invalid kfree because it does not validate MFT     flags before replaying logs. (CVE-2022-48425)

    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)

    There is a potential deadlock in the eBPF subsystem in the Linux kernel.

    The default sysctl configuration kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled on Amazon Linux does not allow     unprivileged users to use eBPF. (CVE-2023-0160)

    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 flaw in the Linux Kernel found in the GFS2 file system. On corrupted gfs2 file systems the evict code     can try to reference the journal descriptor structure, jdesc, after it has been freed and set to NULL. It     can lead to null pointer dereference when gfs2_trans_begin being called and then fail     ingfs2_evict_inode(). (CVE-2023-3212)

    An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel in relay_file_read_start_pos in     kernel/relay.c in the relayfs. This flaw could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel     internal information. (CVE-2023-3268)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.3. There is an out-of-bounds read in crc16 in     lib/crc16.c when called from fs/ext4/super.c because ext4_group_desc_csum does not properly check an     offset. (CVE-2023-34256)

    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.

  - fs/ntfs3: Fix NULL dereference in ni_write_inode Syzbot reports a NULL dereference in ni_write_inode. When     creating a new inode, if allocation fails in mi_init function (called in mi_format_new function), mi->mrec     is set to NULL. In the error path of this inode creation, mi->mrec is later dereferenced in     ni_write_inode. Add a NULL check to prevent NULL dereference. (CVE-2023-53732)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-784 advisory.
