The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2021-9034 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in the USB emulator of the QEMU in versions before     5.2.0. This issue occurs while processing USB packets from a guest when USBDevice 'setup_len' exceeds its     'data_buf[4096]' in the do_token_in, do_token_out routines. This flaw allows a guest user to crash the     QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service, or the potential execution of arbitrary code with the     privileges of the QEMU process on the host. (CVE-2020-14364)

  - In QEMU through 5.0.0, an assertion failure can occur in the network packet processing. This issue affects     the e1000e and vmxnet3 network devices. A malicious guest user/process could use this flaw to abort the     QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition in net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment in     hw/net/net_tx_pkt.c. (CVE-2020-16092)

  - hw/pci/msix.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access via a crafted address     in an msi-x mmio operation. (CVE-2020-13754)

  - In QEMU 5.0.0 and earlier, megasas_lookup_frame in hw/scsi/megasas.c has an out-of-bounds read via a     crafted reply_queue_head field from a guest OS user. (CVE-2020-13362)

  - hw/net/tulip.c in QEMU 4.2.0 has a buffer overflow during the copying of tx/rx buffers because the frame     size is not validated against the r/w data length. (CVE-2020-11102)

  - hw/net/xgmac.c in the XGMAC Ethernet controller in QEMU before 07-20-2020 has a buffer overflow. This     occurs during packet transmission and affects the highbank and midway emulated machines. A guest user or     process could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service or     potential privileged code execution. This was fixed in commit 5519724a13664b43e225ca05351c60b4468e4555.
    (CVE-2020-15863)

  - hw/pci/pci.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access by providing an     address near the end of the PCI configuration space. (CVE-2020-13791)

  - address_space_map in exec.c in QEMU 4.2.0 can trigger a NULL pointer dereference related to BounceBuffer.
    (CVE-2020-13659)

  - sd_wp_addr in hw/sd/sd.c in QEMU 4.2.0 uses an unvalidated address, which leads to an out-of-bounds read     during sdhci_write() operations. A guest OS user can crash the QEMU process. (CVE-2020-13253)

  - A flaw was found in QEMU in the implementation of the Pointer Authentication (PAuth) support for ARM     introduced in version 4.0 and fixed in version 5.0.0. A general failure of the signature generation     process caused every PAuth-enforced pointer to be signed with the same signature. A local attacker could     obtain the signature of a protected pointer and abuse this flaw to bypass PAuth protection for all     programs running on QEMU. (CVE-2020-10702)

  - hw/display/bochs-display.c in QEMU 4.0.0 does not ensure a sufficient PCI config space allocation, leading     to a buffer overflow involving the PCIe extended config space. (CVE-2019-15034)

  - In QEMU through 5.0.0, an integer overflow was found in the SM501 display driver implementation. This flaw     occurs in the COPY_AREA macro while handling MMIO write operations through the sm501_2d_engine_write()     callback. A local attacker could abuse this flaw to crash the QEMU process in sm501_2d_operation() in     hw/display/sm501.c on the host, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-12829)

  - oss_write in audio/ossaudio.c in QEMU before 5.0.0 mishandles a buffer position. (CVE-2020-14415)

  - hw/usb/hcd-ohci.c in QEMU 5.0.0 has an infinite loop when a TD list has a loop. (CVE-2020-25625)

  - QEMU 5.0.0 has a use-after-free in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c because the usb_packet_map return value is not     checked. (CVE-2020-25084)

  - ati_2d_blt in hw/display/ati_2d.c in QEMU 4.2.1 can encounter an outside-limits situation in a     calculation. A guest can crash the QEMU process. (CVE-2020-27616)

  - ncsi.c in libslirp through 4.3.1 has a buffer over-read because it tries to read a certain amount of     header data even if that exceeds the total packet length. (CVE-2020-29129)

  - slirp.c in libslirp through 4.3.1 has a buffer over-read because it tries to read a certain amount of     header data even if that exceeds the total packet length. (CVE-2020-29130)

  - hw/usb/hcd-ohci.c in QEMU 5.0.0 has a stack-based buffer over-read via values obtained from the host     controller driver. (CVE-2020-25624)

  - hw/net/e1000e_core.c in QEMU 5.0.0 has an infinite loop via an RX descriptor with a NULL buffer address.
    (CVE-2020-28916)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the QEMU emulator.
    This flaw occurs in the icmp6_send_echoreply() routine while replying to an ICMP echo request, also known     as ping. This flaw allows a malicious guest to leak the contents of the host memory, resulting in possible     information disclosure. This flaw affects versions of libslirp before 4.3.1. (CVE-2020-10756)

  - A reachable assertion issue was found in the USB EHCI emulation code of QEMU. It could occur while     processing USB requests due to missing handling of DMA memory map failure. A malicious privileged user     within the guest may abuse this flaw to send bogus USB requests and crash the QEMU process on the host,     resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-25723)

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