The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:4713 advisory.

This is a kernel live patch module which is automatically loaded by the RPM post-install script to modify     the code of a running kernel.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: TIPC message reassembly use-after-free remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2024-36886)

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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
