"The remote CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
RHSA-2020:3548 advisory.
- The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.18 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial
of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via vectors involving a NULL value for a certain
match field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function in keyring.c. (CVE-2017-2647)
- A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in
Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly
execute arbitrary code, when the lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA connects to an AP.
(CVE-2019-14896)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
