The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3111 advisory.

    Liblouis is an open source braille translator and back-translator named in honor of Louis Braille. It     features support for computer and literary braille, supports contracted and uncontracted translation for     many languages and has support for hyphenation. New languages can easily be added through tables that     support a rule or dictionary based approach. Liblouis also supports math braille (Nemeth and Marburg).

    Security Fix(es):

    * Multiple flaws were found in the processing of translation tables in liblouis. An attacker could crash     or potentially execute arbitrary code using malicious translation tables. (CVE-2014-8184, CVE-2017-13738,     CVE-2017-13740, CVE-2017-13741, CVE-2017-13742, CVE-2017-13743, CVE-2017-13744)
