The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.327-246.539. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2328 advisory.
2024-07-03: CVE-2023-52574 was added to this advisory.
2024-06-06: CVE-2023-52567 was added to this advisory.
2024-04-11: CVE-2023-42754 was added to this advisory.
A flaw in the kernel Xen event handler can cause a deadlock with Xen console handling in unprivileged Xen guests. (CVE-2023-34324)
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel ipv4 stack. The socket buffer (skb) was assumed to be associated with a device before calling __ip_options_compile, which is not always the case if the skb is re-routed by ipvs. This issue may allow a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to crash the system. (CVE-2023-42754)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_port: Check IRQ data before use (CVE-2023-52567)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
team: fix null-ptr-deref when team device type is changed (CVE-2023-52574)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
