"The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
RLSA-2021:4404 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the permissions of a log file created by kexec-tools. This flaw allows a local
    unprivileged user to read this file and leak kernel internal information from a previous panic. The
    highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. This flaw affects kexec-tools shipped by
    Fedora versions prior to 2.0.21-8 and RHEL versions prior to 2.0.20-47. (CVE-2021-20269)

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