There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - containerd is an open source container runtime. On installations using SELinux, such as EL8 (CentOS,
    RHEL), Fedora, or SUSE MicroOS, with containerd since v1.5.0-beta.0 as the backing container runtime
    interface (CRI), an unprivileged pod scheduled to the node may bind mount, via hostPath volume, any
    privileged, regular file on disk for complete read/write access (sans delete). Such is achieved by placing
    the in-container location of the hostPath volume mount at either `/etc/hosts`, `/etc/hostname`, or
    `/etc/resolv.conf`. These locations are being relabeled indiscriminately to match the container process-
    label which effectively elevates permissions for savvy containers that would not normally be able to
    access privileged host files. This issue has been resolved in version 1.5.9. Users are advised to upgrade
    as soon as possible. (CVE-2021-43816)

An update of the fuse package has been released.

The remote Fedora 36 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2022-6f630b1ba7 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora 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.
