The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:3822 advisory.

  • kernel: Use-after-free vulnerability in DCCP socket (CVE-2017-8824)

  • kernel: Use-after-free in sys_mq_notify() (CVE-2017-11176)

  • kernel: Use-after-free in snd_seq_ioctl_create_port() (CVE-2017-15265)

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