- kernel: filesystem corruption due to an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute change (CVE-2018-18690)

- kernel: Improper validation in bnx2x network card driver can allow for denial of service attacks via crafted packet (CVE-2018-1000026)

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