The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.350-266.564. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2622 advisory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix __dst_negative_advice() race (CVE-2024-36971)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb-storage: alauda: Check whether the media is initialized (CVE-2024-38619)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: fully validate NFT_DATA_VALUE on store to data registers (CVE-2024-42070)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: fix deadlock in create_pinctrl() when handling -EPROBE_DEFER (CVE-2024-42090)
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.
