"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2023:1677 advisory.

    The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include
    redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH)
    are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host
    virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and
    performing administrative tasks.

    The ovirt-node-ng packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-
    virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed
    using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual
    machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing
    administrative tasks.

    Security Fix(es):

    * git: gitattributes parsing integer overflow (CVE-2022-23521)

    * git: Heap overflow in `git archive`, `git log --format` leading to RCE (CVE-2022-41903)

    * ALSA: pcm: Move rwsem lock inside snd_ctl_elem_read to prevent UAF (CVE-2023-0266)

    * kernel: FUSE filesystem low-privileged user privileges escalation (CVE-2023-0386)

    * nss: Arbitrary memory write via PKCS 12 (CVE-2023-0767)

    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.

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
