The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0449 advisory.

The linux-firmware packages contain all of the firmware files that are required by various devices to     operate.

Security Fix(es):

* hw: intel: Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi (CVE-2022-46329)

* hw amd: Return Address Predictor vulnerability leading to information disclosure (CVE-2023-20569)

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 number.
