The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1382 advisory.

    The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with     extremely high determinism requirements.

    Security Fix(es):

    * vmwgfx: NULL pointer dereference in vmw_cmd_dx_define_query (CVE-2022-38096)

    * null-ptr-deref vulnerabilities in sl_tx_timeout in drivers/net/slip (CVE-2022-41858)

    * nfp: use-after-free in area_cache_get() (CVE-2022-3545)

    * NULL pointer dereference in can_rcv_filter (CVE-2023-2166)

    * Slab-out-of-bound read in compare_netdev_and_ip (CVE-2023-2176)

    * out-of-bounds write in qfq_change_class function (CVE-2023-31436)

    * NULL pointer dereference in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup() (CVE-2023-4459)

    * net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited if in qfq_change_agg function happens qfq_enqueue overhead     (CVE-2023-3611)

    * ktls overwrites readonly memory pages when using function splice with a ktls socket as destination     (CVE-2024-0646)

    * inactive elements in nft_pipapo_walk (CVE-2023-6817)

    * refcount leak in ctnetlink_create_conntrack() (CVE-2023-7192)

    Bug Fix(es):
