The remote Fedora 33 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2021-e49da8a226 advisory.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c performs undesirable out- of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-f232326f6966. This affects pointer types that do not define a ptr_limit. (CVE-2020-27170)
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. kernel/bpf/verifier.c has an off-by-one error (with a resultant integer underflow) affecting out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic, leading to side-channel attacks that defeat Spectre mitigations and obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka CID-10d2bb2e6b1d. (CVE-2020-27171)
An issue was discovered in fs/fuse/fuse_i.h in the Linux kernel before 5.11.8. A stall on CPU can occur because a retry loop continually finds the same bad inode, aka CID-775c5033a0d1. (CVE-2021-28950)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
