The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.330-250.540. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2359 advisory.

2024-06-19: CVE-2023-52845 was added to this advisory.

A use-after-free flaw was found in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c in vc_screen in the Linux     Kernel. In this flaw an attacker with local user access may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal     kernel information. (CVE-2023-3567)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tipc: Change nla_policy for bearer-related names to NLA_NUL_STRING (CVE-2023-52845)

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.
