"The version of kernel installed on the remote host is prior to 4.14.336-179.557. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2024-1912 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds access vulnerability involving netfilter was reported and fixed as: f1082dd31fe4
    (netfilter: nf_tables: Reject tables of unsupported family); While creating a new netfilter table, lack of
    a safeguard against invalid nf_tables family (pf) values within `nf_tables_newtable` function enables an
    attacker to achieve out-of-bounds access. (CVE-2023-6040)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Performance Events system component can be
    exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. A perf_event's read_size can overflow, leading to an heap
    out-of-bounds increment or write in perf_read_group(). We recommend upgrading past commit
    382c27f4ed28f803b1f1473ac2d8db0afc795a1b. (CVE-2023-6931)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
