The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:5696 advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE     (component: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Oracle Java SE: 7u343, 8u333, 11.0.15.1,     17.0.3.1, 18.0.1.1; Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition: 20.3.6, 21.3.2 and 22.1.0. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data.
    Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web     Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from     the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can also be exploited by using     APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the APIs. CVSS 3.1     Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).
    (CVE-2022-21540)

Difficult to exploit     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle Java SE, Oracle     GraalVM Enterprise Edition accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments,     typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load     and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for     security. This vulnerability can also be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through     a web service which supplies data to the APIs. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.9 (Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector:
    (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N). (CVE-2022-21541)

  - The Apache Xalan Java XSLT library is vulnerable to an integer truncation issue when processing malicious     XSLT stylesheets. This can be used to corrupt Java class files generated by the internal XSLTC compiler     and execute arbitrary Java bytecode. The Apache Xalan Java project is dormant and in the process of being     retired. No future releases of Apache Xalan Java to address this issue are expected. Note: Java runtimes     (such as OpenJDK) include repackaged copies of Xalan. (CVE-2022-34169)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
