Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for kernel.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2522 advisory.The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* 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)
* Kernel: NetLabel: null pointer dereference while receiving CIPSO packet with null category may cause kernel panic (CVE-2020-10711)
* kernel: denial of service via ioctl call in network tun handling (CVE-2018-7191)
* kernel: usb: missing size check in the __usb_get_extra_descriptor() leading to DoS (CVE-2018-20169)
* kernel: perf_event_open() and execve() race in setuid programs allows a data leak (CVE-2019-3901)
* kernel: brcmfmac frame validation bypass (CVE-2019-9503)
* kernel: unchecked kstrdup of fwstr in drm_load_edid_firmware leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-12382)
* kernel: use-after-free in arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c (CVE-2019-13233)
* kernel: integer overflow and OOB read in drivers/block/floppy.c (CVE-2019-14283)
* kernel: memory leak in register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-15916)
* Kernel: net: using kernel space address bits to derive IP ID may potentially break KASLR (CVE-2019-10639)

Bug Fix(es):
* Backport: Guest microcode version mismatch on secondary processors (BZ#1814002)
* Realtek 8111, 8112 stop working after upgrading to 3.10.0-1062 (BZ#1814601)
* [mlx5] Crash on reboot while having VF configured and in switchdev mode (BZ#1814800)
* qla2xxx: Urgent driver fix needed. Initiator does not relogin to target after receiving an explicit logout (BZ#1815595)
* High iSCSI read latency resolved by 'tcp: implement coalescing on backlog queue' (BZ#1817498)
* [RHEL7.8][Azure]Commits to resolve high network latency (BZ#1817934)
* NETDEV WATCHDOG: enp3s0 (r8169): transmit queue 0 timed out (BZ#1822541)
* RHEL7: block mq hang of a blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(), which waits for a zero of a q_usage_counter, which never happens (BZ#1824545)
* Kernel crashes with a message fs/fscache/operation.c:449! (BZ#1826293)
* kernel BUG at fs/fscache/operation.c:70! FS-Cache: 4 == 5 is false - current state is FSCACHE_OP_ST_COMPLETE but should be FSCACHE_OP_CANCELLED in fscache_enqueue_operation (BZ#1839756)
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.
Solution
