The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:5430 advisory.
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: out of bounds write in function i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c (CVE-2017-18551)
* kernel: out of bounds write in i2c driver leads to local escalation of privilege (CVE-2019-9454)
* kernel: mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem image, performing some operations, and unmounting can lead to a use-after-free in ext4_put_super in fs/ext4/super.c (CVE-2019-19447)
* kernel: out-of-bounds write via crafted keycode table (CVE-2019-20636)
* kernel: sg_write function lacks an sg_remove_request call in a certain failure case (CVE-2020-12770)
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):
* Secure boot key is not loaded with kernel-3.10.0-1159.el7: MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT (BZ#1876951)
* RHEL7.6: no-carrier configured interfaces causes soft lockups by mount.nfs and hang booting/shutdown process (BZ#1889770)
* [Intel Bug]: hrtimer (rdmavt RNR timer) was lost sometimes (BZ#1892996)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
