"The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2017-1699:05 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-2016-10208
    The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel
    through 4.9.8 does not properly validate meta block groups, which
    allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.
    CVE-2016-7910
    Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop function in
    block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.1 allows local users to
    gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop
    operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed.
    CVE-2016-8646
    The hash_accept function in crypto/algif_hash.c in the Linux kernel
    before 4.3.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by
    attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket
    that has received zero bytes of data.
    CVE-2017-5986
    Race condition in the sctp_wait_for_sndbuf function in
    net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.11 allows local users
    to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and panic) via a
    multithreaded application that peels off an association in a certain
    buffer-full state.
    CVE-2017-7308
    The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux
    kernel through 4.10.6 does not properly validate certain block-size
    data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer
    signedness error and out-of-bounds write), or gain privileges (if the
    CAP_NET_RAW capability is held), via crafted system calls.
    Additional Changes:
    This update also fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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