The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the kernel-5.14.0-559.el9 build changelog.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: Remove cache tags before     disabling ATS The current implementation removes cache tags after disabling ATS, leading to potential     memory leaks and kernel crashes. Specifically, CACHE_TAG_DEVTLB type cache tags may still remain in the     list even after the domain is freed, causing a use-after-free condition. This issue really shows up when     multiple VFs from different PFs passed through to a single user-space process via vfio-pci. In such cases,     the kernel may crash with kernel messages like: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:

(CVE-2024-56669)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix pcluster use-after-free on     UP platforms During stress testing with CONFIG_SMP disabled, KASAN reports as below:

Since UP platforms are quite rare now, such path becomes unnecessary. Let's     drop such specific-designed path directly instead. (CVE-2022-48674)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix memory leak of LZMA global     compressed deduplication When stressing microLZMA EROFS images with the new global compressed     deduplication feature enabled (`-Ededupe`), I found some short-lived temporary pages weren't properly     released, which could slowly cause unexpected OOMs hours later. Let's fix it now (LZ4 and DEFLATE don't     have this issue.) (CVE-2023-52526)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/s390: Implement blocking domain     This fixes a crash when surprise hot-unplugging a PCI device. This crash happens because during hot-unplug
    __iommu_group_set_domain_nofail() attaching the default domain fails when the platform no longer     recognizes the device as it has already been removed and we end up with a NULL domain pointer and UAF.
    This is exactly the case referred to in the second comment in __iommu_device_set_domain() and just as     stated there if we can instead attach the blocking domain the UAF is prevented as this can handle the     already removed device. Implement the blocking domain to use this handling. With this change, the crash is     fixed but we still hit a warning attempting to change DMA ownership on a blocked device. (CVE-2024-53232)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: master: Fix miss free     init_dyn_addr at i3c_master_put_i3c_addrs() if (dev->boardinfo && dev->boardinfo->init_dyn_addr) ^^^ here     check init_dyn_addr i3c_bus_set_addr_slot_status(&master->bus, dev->info.dyn_addr, ...) ^^^^ free     dyn_addr Fix copy/paste error dyn_addr by replacing it with init_dyn_addr. (CVE-2024-56562)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
