"The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2015-216:01 advisory.

    The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any
    Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic functions
    of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device
    input and output, etc.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-9420
    The rock_continue function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux kernel
    through 3.18.1 does not restrict the number of Rock Ridge continuation
    entries, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
    (infinite loop, and system crash or hang) via a crafted iso9660 image.
    CVE-2014-9529
    Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys function in
    security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 allows local
    users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or panic) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact via keyctl commands that
    trigger access to a key structure member during garbage collection of
    a key.
    CVE-2014-9584
    The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the
    Linux kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate a length value in the
    Extensions Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allows local users
    to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted
    iso9660 image.
    CVE-2015-1573
    ** RESERVED **
    This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that
    will use it when announcing a new security problem.  When the
    candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be
    provided.
    CVE-2015-1593
    The stack randomization feature in the Linux kernel before 3.19.1 on
    64-bit platforms uses incorrect data types for the results of bitwise
    left-shift operations, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass
    the ASLR protection mechanism by predicting the address of the top of
    the stack, related to the randomize_stack_top function in
    fs/binfmt_elf.c and the stack_maxrandom_size function in
    arch/x86/mm/mmap.c.
    CVE-2015-1805
    ** RESERVED **
    This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that
    will use it when announcing a new security problem.  When the
    candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be
    provided.
    CVE-2015-2830
    arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.19.2 does not
    prevent the TS_COMPAT flag from reaching a user-mode task, which might
    allow local users to bypass the seccomp or audit protection mechanism
    via a crafted application that uses the (1) fork or (2) close system
    call, as demonstrated by an attack against seccomp before 3.16.
