The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2831 advisory.

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

Security Fix(es):

* Kernel: vfio: access to disabled MMIO space of some devices may lead to DoS scenario (CVE-2020-12888)

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

Bug Fix(es):

* kernel: hw: provide reporting and microcode mitigation toggle for CVE-2020-0543 / Special Register     Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) (BZ#1840674)

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.
