The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:0689 advisory.

  • kernel: bad kfree in auditfilter.c may lead to escalation of privilege (CVE-2020-0444)

  • kernel: locking issue in drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c can lead to an use-after-free (CVE-2020-29661)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
