The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:5259 advisory.
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: FUSE allows UAF reads of write() buffers, allowing theft of (partial) /etc/shadow hashes (CVE-2022-1011)
* net: fix __dst_negative_advice() race (CVE-2024-36971)
Bug Fix(es):
* kernel.spec: run initramfs generation in %post (not only in %posttrans) (RHEL-3292)
* tcp: fix zero cwnd in tcp_cwnd_reduction (RHEL-43212)
* epoll: fix use-after-free in eventpoll_release_file (RHEL-39665)
* RHEL 7.9: include [net] netfilter: ipset: fix ip_set_list allocation failure (RHEL-6204)
* gfs2: The gfs2_logd process to hang or stall which causes a performance degradation on the gfs2 filesystem (RHEL-8427)
* [rhel7] gfs2: quota_change%u corruption (RHEL-37473)
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.
