The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:0676 advisory.

    The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with     extremely high determinism requirements.

    Security Fix(es):

    * kernel: Buffer overflow in firewire driver via crafted incoming packets (CVE-2016-8633, Important)

    * kernel: Use-after-free vulnerability in DCCP socket (CVE-2017-8824, Important)

    * Kernel: kvm: nVMX: L2 guest could access hardware(L0) CR8 register (CVE-2017-12154, Important)

    * kernel: v4l2: disabled memory access protection mechanism allowing privilege escalation (CVE-2017-13166,     Important)

    * kernel: Kernel address information leak in drivers/acpi/sbshc.c:acpi_smbus_hc_add() function potentially     allowing KASLR bypass (CVE-2018-5750, Moderate)

    * kernel: Race condition in sound system can lead to denial of service (CVE-2018-1000004, Moderate)

    * kernel: unlimiting the stack disables ASLR (CVE-2016-3672, Low)

    * kernel: Missing permission check in move_pages system call (CVE-2017-14140, Low)

    * kernel: Null pointer dereference in rngapi_reset function (CVE-2017-15116, Low)

    * kernel: Improper error handling of VM_SHARED hugetlbfs mapping in mm/hugetlb.c (CVE-2017-15127, Low)

    * kernel: Integer overflow in futex.c:futux_requeue can lead to denial of service or unspecified impact     (CVE-2018-6927, Low)
