The version of mdadm installed on the remote host is prior to 4.0-5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2275 advisory.

  • Buffer overflow in some Intelยฎ SSD Tools software before version mdadm-4.2-rc2 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2023-28736)

  • Uncontrolled resource consumption in some Intelยฎ SSD Tools software before version mdadm-4.2-rc2 may allow a priviledged user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2023-28938)

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