The remote Oracle Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2016-3579 advisory.

  • The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 incorrectly relies on the write system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface. (CVE-2016-4565)

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