The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ext4: fix BUG in ext4_mb_new_inode_pa() due to overflow When we calculate the end position of     ext4_free_extent, this position may be exactly where ext4_lblk_t (i.e. uint) overflows. For example, if     ac_g_ex.fe_logical is 4294965248 and ac_orig_goal_len is 2048, then the computed end is 0x100000000, which     is 0. If ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical is not the first case of adjusting the best extent, that is, new_bex_end >     0, the following BUG_ON will be triggered: =========================================================     kernel BUG at fs/ext4/mballoc.c:5116! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 3 PID: 673 Comm:

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 ALAS2023-2023-430 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, exploitable by local users with userspace access     to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES     emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory (and thus privilege     escalation). This depends on a race condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before     the #VC handler reads it. (CVE-2023-46813)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.5.9. During a race with SQ thread exit, an     io_uring/fdinfo.c io_uring_show_fdinfo NULL pointer dereference can occur. (CVE-2023-46862)

    x86: KVM: SVM: always update the x2avic msr interception (CVE-2023-5090)

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

    ext4: fix BUG in ext4_mb_new_inode_pa() due to overflow (CVE-2023-54069)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf)     component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

    If perf_read_group() is called while an event's sibling_list is smaller than its child's sibling_list, it     can increment or write to memory locations outside of the allocated buffer.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06. (CVE-2023-5717)

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.139-93.147. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2023-031 advisory.

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

    llc: verify mac len before reading mac header (CVE-2023-52843)

    thermal: core: prevent potential string overflow (CVE-2023-52868)

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

    pstore/platform: Add check for kstrdup (CVE-2023-52869)

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

    ext4: fix BUG in ext4_mb_new_inode_pa() due to overflow (CVE-2023-54069)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    The function nft_trans_gc_catchall did not remove the catchall set element from the catchall_list when the     argument sync is true, making it possible to free a catchall set element many times.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 93995bf4af2c5a99e2a87f0cd5ce547d31eb7630. (CVE-2023-6111)
