The version of kernel-generic installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.80 / 5.15.80_smp. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-333-01 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The existing KVM SEV API has a vulnerability that allows a non-root     (host) user-level application to crash the host kernel by creating a confidential guest VM instance in AMD     CPU that supports Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV). (CVE-2022-0171)

  - In binder_inc_ref_for_node of binder.c, there is a possible way to corrupt memory due to a use after free.
    This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User     interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-239630375References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20421)

  - A flaw was found in vDPA with VDUSE backend. There are currently no checks in VDUSE kernel driver to     ensure the size of the device config space is in line with the features advertised by the VDUSE userspace     application. In case of a mismatch, Virtio drivers config read helpers do not initialize the memory     indirectly passed to vduse_vdpa_get_config() returning uninitialized memory from the stack. This could     cause undefined behavior or data leaks in Virtio drivers. (CVE-2022-2308)

  - An issue was found in the Linux kernel in nf_conntrack_irc where the message handling can be confused and     incorrectly matches the message. A firewall may be able to be bypassed when users are using unencrypted     IRC with nf_conntrack_irc configured. (CVE-2022-2663)

  - An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem in how a user calls the     bpf_tail_call function with a key larger than the max_entries of the map. This flaw allows a local user to     gain unauthorized access to data. (CVE-2022-2905)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel NILFS file system was found in the way user triggers function     security_inode_alloc to fail with following call to function nilfs_mdt_destroy. A local user could use     this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2978)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem)     when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. This flaw could allow a local attacker to     potentially trigger an out-of-bounds write or leak kernel heap memory by performing an out-of-bounds read     and copying it into a socket. (CVE-2022-3028)

  - Found Linux Kernel flaw in the i740 driver. The Userspace program could pass any values to the driver     through ioctl() interface. The driver doesn't check the value of 'pixclock', so it may cause a divide by     zero error. (CVE-2022-3061)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A denial of service flaw may occur if there is a consecutive request     of the NVME_IOCTL_RESET and the NVME_IOCTL_SUBSYS_RESET through the device file of the driver, resulting     in a PCIe link disconnect. (CVE-2022-3169)

  - There exists a use-after-free in io_uring in the Linux kernel. Signalfd_poll() and binder_poll() use a     waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task. It will send a POLLFREE notification to all waiters before     the queue is freed. Unfortunately, the io_uring poll doesn't handle POLLFREE. This allows a use-after-free     to occur if a signalfd or binder fd is polled with io_uring poll, and the waitqueue gets freed. We     recommend upgrading past commit fc78b2fc21f10c4c9c4d5d659a685710ffa63659 (CVE-2022-3176)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel sound subsystem due to improper locking. It could lead     to a NULL pointer dereference while handling the SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl. A privileged local user (root or     member of the audio group) could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service     condition (CVE-2022-3303)

  - A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects     the function kcm_tx_work of the file net/kcm/kcmsock.c of the component kcm.

  - roccat_report_event in drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition     and resultant use-after-free in certain situations where a report is received while copying a     report->value is in progress. (CVE-2022-41850)

  - mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel before 5.19.7 has a use-after-free related to leaf anon_vma double reuse.
    (CVE-2022-42703)

  - A use-after-free in the mac80211 stack when parsing a multi-BSSID element in the Linux kernel 5.2 through     5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to crash the kernel and     potentially execute code. (CVE-2022-42719)

  - Various refcounting bugs in the multi-BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel 5.1 through     5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by local attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to trigger use-after-     free conditions to potentially execute code. (CVE-2022-42720)

  - A list management bug in BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel 5.1 through 5.19.x before     5.19.16 could be used by local attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to corrupt a linked list and, in     turn, potentially execute code. (CVE-2022-42721)

  - In the Linux kernel 5.8 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16, local attackers able to inject WLAN frames into the     mac80211 stack could cause a NULL pointer dereference denial-of-service attack against the beacon     protection of P2P devices. (CVE-2022-42722)

  - There is an infoleak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_parse_conf_req     function which can be used to leak kernel pointers remotely. We recommend upgrading past commit     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b1a2cd50c0357f243b7435a732b4e62ba3157a2e     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42895)

  - There are use-after-free vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel's net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c's l2cap_connect     and l2cap_le_connect_req functions which may allow code execution and leaking kernel memory (respectively)     remotely via Bluetooth. A remote attacker could execute code leaking kernel memory via Bluetooth if within     proximity of the victim. We recommend upgrading past commit https://www.google.com/url     https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711f8c3fb3db61897080468586b970c87c61d9e4     https://www.google.com/url (CVE-2022-42896)

  - drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c in usbmon in the Linux kernel before 5.19.15 and 6.x before 6.0.1 allows a user-     space client to corrupt the monitor's internal memory. (CVE-2022-43750)

  - The Linux kernel NFSD implementation prior to versions 5.19.17 and 6.0.2 are vulnerable to buffer     overflow. NFSD tracks the number of pages held by each NFSD thread by combining the receive and send     buffers of a remote procedure call (RPC) into a single array of pages. A client can force the send buffer     to shrink by sending an RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message. The RPC     message with garbage data is still correctly formed according to the specification and is passed forward     to handlers. Vulnerable code in NFSD is not expecting the oversized request and writes beyond the     allocated buffer space. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (CVE-2022-43945)

  - A flaw was found in hw. Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary     speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions. (CVE-2022-23816)     (CVE-2022-2602)

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

The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.15.73-48.135. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.15-2022-009 advisory.
