The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:6268 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: kprobes/x86: Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read from unsafe address (CVE-2024-26946)

* kernel: netfilter: bridge: replace physindev with physinif in nf_bridge_info (CVE-2024-35839)

* kernel: bpf, sockmap: Prevent lock inversion deadlock in map delete elem (CVE-2024-35895)

* kernel: x86/coco: Require seeding RNG with RDRAND on CoCo systems (CVE-2024-35875)

* kernel: gfs2: Fix potential glock use-after-free on unmount (CVE-2024-38570)

* kernel: bnxt_re: avoid shift undefined behavior in bnxt_qplib_alloc_init_hwq (CVE-2024-38540)

* kernel: ionic: fix use after netif_napi_del() (CVE-2024-39502)

* kernel: mm/huge_memory: don't unpoison huge_zero_folio (CVE-2024-40914)

* kernel: dmaengine: idxd: Fix possible Use-After-Free in irq_process_work_list (CVE-2024-40956)

* kernel: scsi: qedi: Fix crash while reading debugfs attribute (CVE-2024-40978)

* kernel: tipc: force a dst refcount before doing decryption (CVE-2024-40983)

* kernel: ppp: reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed packets (CVE-2024-41044)

* kernel: Revert mm/writeback: fix possible divide-by-zero in wb_dirty_limits(), again     (CVE-2024-42102)

* kernel: mm: avoid overflows in dirty throttling logic (CVE-2024-42131)

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.
