The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2023:0432 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the QXL display device emulation in QEMU. The qxl_phys2virt()     function does not check the size of the structure pointed to by the guest physical address, potentially     reading past the end of the bar space into adjacent pages. A malicious guest user could use this flaw to     crash the QEMU process on the host causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4144)

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