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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: etas_es58x: es58x_rx_err_msg():
    fix memory leak in error path In es58x_rx_err_msg(), if can->do_set_mode() fails, the function directly     returns without calling netif_rx(skb). This means that the skb previously allocated by alloc_can_err_skb()     is not freed. In other terms, this is a memory leak. This patch simply removes the return statement in the     error branch and let the function continue. Issue was found with GCC -fanalyzer, please follow the link     below for details. (CVE-2021-47671)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:2458 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
