The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:4747 advisory.

EDK (Embedded Development Kit) is a project to enable UEFI support for Virtual Machines. This package     contains a sample 64-bit UEFI firmware for QEMU and KVM.

Security Fix(es):

* edk2: Temporary DoS vulnerability (CVE-2024-1298)

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.
