The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 5.4.38-17.76. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2KERNEL-5.4-2022-011 advisory.

2024-05-23: CVE-2020-9391 was added to this advisory.

2024-05-09: CVE-2019-19769 was added to this advisory.

2023-11-29: CVE-2020-27418 was added to this advisory.

In the Linux kernel 5.3.10, there is a use-after-free (read) in the perf_trace_lock_acquire function     (related to include/trace/events/lock.h). (CVE-2019-19769)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux subsystem. This flaw occurs while     importing the Commercial IP Security Option (CIPSO) protocol's category bitmap into the SELinux extensible     bitmap via the' ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While processing the CIPSO restricted bitmap tag in the     'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security attribute to indicate that the category bitmap is     present, even if it has not been allocated. This issue leads to a NULL pointer dereference issue while     importing the same category bitmap into SELinux. This flaw allows a remote network user to crash the     system kernel, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-10711)

A Use After Free vulnerability in Fedora Linux kernel 5.9.0-rc9 allows attackers to obatin sensitive     information via vgacon_invert_region() function. (CVE-2020-27418)

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.4 and 5.5 through 5.5.6 on the AArch64 architecture. It     ignores the top byte in the address passed to the brk system call, potentially moving the memory break     downwards when the application expects it to move upwards, aka CID-dcde237319e6. This has been observed to     cause heap corruption with the GNU C Library malloc implementation. (CVE-2020-9391)

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.
