The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2289 advisory.

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for     Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the     user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in     environments managed by Red Hat products.

Security fix(es):
* An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor     designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions     (a commonly used performance optimization). It relies on the presence of a     precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as     the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has     occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the     microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions     that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker     could use this flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache     side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3639)

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank Ken Johnson (Microsoft Security Response Center)     and Jann Horn (Google Project Zero) for reporting this issue.

Note: This is the qemu-kvm-rhev side of the CVE-2018-3639 mitigation that     includes support for guests running on hosts with AMD processors.

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS     score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in     the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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