The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1831 advisory.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: out-of-bounds write in qfq_change_class function (CVE-2023-31436)
* kernel: net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited if in qfq_change_agg function happens qfq_enqueue     overhead (CVE-2023-3611)
* kernel: net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited as result of failure in tcf_change_indev function     (CVE-2023-3776)
* kernel: use-after-free in sch_qfq network scheduler (CVE-2023-4921)

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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
