The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1966 advisory.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating     system.

Security Fix(es):

* blktrace: Protect q->blk_trace with RCU (CVE-2019-19768)

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.
