"The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
ELSA-2021-9008 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.14.x. Some OSes (such as Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD) are
    processing watch events using a single thread. If the events are received faster than the thread is able
    to handle, they will get queued. As the queue is unbounded, a guest may be able to trigger an OOM in the
    backend. All systems with a FreeBSD, Linux, or NetBSD (any version) dom0 are vulnerable. (CVE-2020-29568)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.1, as used with Xen through 4.14.x. The Linux
    kernel PV block backend expects the kernel thread handler to reset ring->xenblkd to NULL when stopped.
    However, the handler may not have time to run if the frontend quickly toggles between the states connect
    and disconnect. As a consequence, the block backend may re-use a pointer after it was freed. A misbehaving
    guest can trigger a dom0 crash by continuously connecting / disconnecting a block frontend. Privilege
    escalation and information leaks cannot be ruled out. This only affects systems with a Linux blkback.
    (CVE-2020-29569)

  - In drivers/target/target_core_xcopy.c in the Linux kernel before 5.10.7, insufficient identifier checking
    in the LIO SCSI target code can be used by remote attackers to read or write files via directory traversal
    in an XCOPY request, aka CID-2896c93811e3. For example, an attack can occur over a network if the attacker
    has access to one iSCSI LUN. The attacker gains control over file access because I/O operations are
    proxied via an attacker-selected backstore. (CVE-2020-28374)

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