The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1303 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: memcg does not limit the number of POSIX file locks allowing memory exhaustion (CVE-2022-0480)

Bug Fix(es):

* kernel-rt: kernel: memcg does not limit the number of POSIX file locks allowing memory exhaustion     (JIRA:RHEL-8998)

* kernel-rt: update RT source tree to the latest RHEL-9.2.z7 Batch (JIRA:RHEL-26863)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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