  - A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c.
    This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name
    space (CVE-2021-22555)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
