The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:7457 advisory.

  - runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers on Linux according to the OCI specification. A bug     was found in runc prior to version 1.1.2 where `runc exec --cap` created processes with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities, creating an atypical Linux environment and enabling programs with     inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set during execve(2). This     bug did not affect the container security sandbox as the inheritable set never contained more capabilities     than were included in the container's bounding set. This bug has been fixed in runc 1.1.2. This fix     changes `runc exec --cap` behavior such that the additional capabilities granted to the process being     executed (as specified via `--cap` arguments) do not include inheritable capabilities. In addition, `runc     spec` is changed to not set any inheritable capabilities in the created example OCI spec (`config.json`)     file. (CVE-2022-29162)

  - Go before 1.15.15 and 1.16.x before 1.16.7 has a race condition that can lead to a net/http/httputil     ReverseProxy panic upon an ErrAbortHandler abort. (CVE-2021-36221)

  - The OCI Distribution Spec project defines an API protocol to facilitate and standardize the distribution     of content. In the OCI Distribution Specification version 1.0.0 and prior, the Content-Type header alone     was used to determine the type of document during push and pull operations. Documents that contain both     manifests and layers fields could be interpreted as either a manifest or an index in the absence of an     accompanying Content-Type header. If a Content-Type header changed between two pulls of the same digest, a     client may interpret the resulting content differently. The OCI Distribution Specification has been     updated to require that a mediaType value present in a manifest or index match the Content-Type header     used during the push and pull operations. Clients pulling from a registry may distrust the Content-Type     header and reject an ambiguous document that contains both manifests and layers fields or manifests     and config fields if they are unable to update to version 1.0.1 of the spec. (CVE-2021-41190)

  - A vulnerability was found in CRI-O that causes memory or disk space exhaustion on the node for anyone with     access to the Kube API. The ExecSync request runs commands in a container and logs the output of the     command. This output is then read by CRI-O after command execution, and it is read in a manner where the     entire file corresponding to the output of the command is read in. Thus, if the output of the command is     large it is possible to exhaust the memory or the disk space of the node when CRI-O reads the output of     the command. The highest threat from this vulnerability is system availability. (CVE-2022-1708)

  - An incorrect handling of the supplementary groups in the Buildah container engine might lead to the     sensitive information disclosure or possible data modification if an attacker has direct access to the     affected container where supplementary groups are used to set access permissions and is able to execute a     binary code in that container. (CVE-2022-2990)

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