"The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
ELSA-2021-9223 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out-
    of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre
    mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-f232326f6966. This affects
    pointer types that do not define a ptr_limit. (CVE-2020-27170)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c has an off-by-one error
    (with a resultant integer underflow) affecting out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to
    side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory,
    aka CID-10d2bb2e6b1d. (CVE-2020-27171)

  - The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use
    uninitialized or stale values. This initialization went too far and may under certain conditions also
    overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The lack of cleanup would result in leaking
    persistent grants. The leak in turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,
    leaving around zombie domains. All Linux versions having the fix for XSA-365 applied are vulnerable.
    XSA-365 was classified to affect versions back to at least 3.11. (CVE-2021-28688)

  - A race condition was discovered in get_old_root in fs/btrfs/ctree.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8. It
    allows attackers to cause a denial of service (BUG) because of a lack of locking on an extent buffer
    before a cloning operation, aka CID-dbcc7d57bffc. (CVE-2021-28964)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The netfilter subsystem allows attackers to
    cause a denial of service (panic) because net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h
    lack a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value, aka CID-175e476b8cdf.
    (CVE-2021-29650)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A denial of service problem is identified if an extent tree is
    corrupted in a crafted ext4 filesystem in fs/ext4/extents.c in ext4_es_cache_extent. Fabricating an
    integer overflow, A local attacker with a special user privilege may cause a system crash problem which
    can lead to an availability threat. (CVE-2021-3428)

  - In intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm in arch/x86/events/intel/ds.c in the Linux kernel through 5.11.8 on some
    Haswell CPUs, userspace applications (such as perf-fuzzer) can cause a system crash because the PEBS
    status in a PEBS record is mishandled, aka CID-d88d05a9e0b6. (CVE-2021-28971)

  - BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel through 5.11.12 have incorrect computation of branch displacements,
    allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This affects
    arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c. (CVE-2021-29154)

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