"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2022:0629 advisory.
The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with
extremely high determinism requirements.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: Use After Free in unix_gc() which could result in a local privilege escalation (CVE-2021-0920)
* kernel: use-after-free in RDMA listen() (CVE-2021-4028)
* kernel: xfs: raw block device data leak in XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL (CVE-2021-4155)
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):
* kernnel-rt-debug: do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<0000000050e86018>]
handle_userfault+0x530/0x1820 (BZ#2029420)
* kernel-rt: update RT source tree to the latest RHEL-8.2.z15 Batch (BZ#2046275)
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
