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: block: null_blk: end timed out poll     request When poll request is timed out, it is removed from the poll list, but not completed, so the     request is leaked, and never get chance to complete. Fix the issue by ending it in timeout handler.
    (CVE-2022-49057)

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-2022:8267 advisory.

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