The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2082 advisory.

- kernel: double free may be caused by the function allocate_trace_buffer in the file kernel/trace/trace.c (CVE-2017-18595)

- kernel: use-after-free in __blk_add_trace in kernel/trace/blktrace.c (CVE-2019-19768)
