Synopsis

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-2022:0592 advisory.

- kernel: use after free in eventpoll.c may lead to escalation of privilege (CVE-2020-0466)

- kernel: Use After Free in unix_gc() which could result in a local privilege escalation (CVE-2021-0920)

- kernel: xfs: raw block device data leak in XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL (CVE-2021-4155)

- kernel: possible privileges escalation due to missing TLB flush (CVE-2022-0330)
