The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:1354 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: error in exception handling leads to DoS (CVE-2018-8897)
* kernel: ptrace() incorrect error handling leads to corruption and DoS (CVE-2018-1000199)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Red Hat would like to thank Nick Peterson (Everdox Tech LLC) and Andy Lutomirski for reporting CVE-2018-8897 and Andy Lutomirski for reporting CVE-2018-1000199.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
