The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:4146 advisory.

  • kernel: net/ulp: use-after-free in listening ULP sockets (CVE-2023-0461)

  • kernel: tcindex: use-after-free vulnerability in traffic control index filter allows privilege escalation (CVE-2023-1281)

  • kernel: remote DoS in TIPC kernel module (CVE-2023-1390)

  • kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in nf_tables when processing batch requests can lead to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-32233)

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