The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.336-257.562. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2475 advisory.

2024-07-03: CVE-2024-23851 was added to this advisory.

dm_table_create in drivers/md/dm-table.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.4 can attempt to (in     alloc_targets) allocate more than INT_MAX bytes, and crash, because of a missing check for struct     dm_ioctl.target_count. (CVE-2023-52429)

A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function     improperly updates the refcnt on `struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing     between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq` global queue. This could lead to a     denial of service condition or potential code execution. (CVE-2023-6270)

In rds_recv_track_latency in net/rds/af_rds.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.1, there is an off-by-one     error for an RDS_MSG_RX_DGRAM_TRACE_MAX comparison, resulting in out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2024-23849)

copy_params in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.1 can attempt to allocate more than     INT_MAX bytes, and crash, because of a missing param_kernel->data_size check. This is related to     ctl_ioctl. (CVE-2024-23851)

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.
