The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.275-207.503. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1774 advisory.

  • st21nfca_connectivity_event_received in drivers/nfc/st21nfca/se.c in the Linux kernel through 5.16.12 has EVT_TRANSACTION buffer overflows because of untrusted length parameters. (CVE-2022-26490)

  • A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in IPsec ESP transformation code in net/ipv4/esp4.c and net/ipv6/esp6.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with a normal user privilege to overwrite kernel heap objects and may cause a local privilege escalation threat. (CVE-2022-27666)

  • In the Linux kernel before 5.17.1, a refcount leak bug was found in net/llc/af_llc.c. (CVE-2022-28356)

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