The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:7557 advisory.

  • kernel: use after free in nvmet_tcp_free_crypto in NVMe (CVE-2023-5178)

  • hw: amd: Cross-Process Information Leak (CVE-2023-20593)

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