Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found in the Linux kernel's KVM when dirty ring logging is enabled without     an active vCPU context. An unprivileged local attacker on the host may use this flaw to cause a kernel     oops condition and thus a denial of service by issuing a KVM_XEN_HVM_SET_ATTR ioctl. This flaw affects     Linux kernel versions prior to 5.17-rc1. (CVE-2021-4095)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2022-9534 advisory.
