The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:5157 advisory.

  • kernel: cgroups v1 release_agent feature may allow privilege escalation (CVE-2022-0492)

  • kernel: race condition in perf_event_open leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2022-1729)

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