The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:2043 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: vhost_net: infinite loop while receiving packets leads to DoS (CVE-2019-3900)

    * Kernel: page cache side channel attacks (CVE-2019-5489)

    * kernel: Buffer overflow in hidp_process_report (CVE-2018-9363)

    * kernel: l2tp: Race condition between pppol2tp_session_create() and l2tp_eth_create() (CVE-2018-9517)

    * kernel: kvm: guest userspace to guest kernel write (CVE-2018-10853)

    * kernel: use-after-free in ucma_leave_multicast in drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c (CVE-2018-14734)

    * kernel: Mishandling of indirect calls weakens Spectre mitigation for paravirtual guests (CVE-2018-15594)

    * kernel: TLB flush happens too late on mremap (CVE-2018-18281)

    * kernel: Heap address information leak while using L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT (CVE-2019-3459)

    * kernel: Heap address information leak while using L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP (CVE-2019-3460)

    * kernel: denial of service vector through vfio DMA mappings (CVE-2019-3882)

    * kernel: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping (CVE-2019-11599)

    * kernel: a NULL pointer dereference in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c leading to DoS     (CVE-2019-11810)

    * kernel: fs/ext4/extents.c leads to information disclosure (CVE-2019-11833)

    * kernel: Information exposure in fd_locked_ioctl function in drivers/block/floppy.c (CVE-2018-7755)

    * kernel: Memory leak in drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c:hwsim_new_radio_nl() can lead to potential     denial of service (CVE-2018-8087)

    * kernel: HID: debug: Buffer overflow in hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c     (CVE-2018-9516)

    * kernel: NULL pointer dereference in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c (CVE-2018-13095)

    * kernel: Information leak in cdrom_ioctl_drive_status (CVE-2018-16658)

    * kernel: out-of-bound read in memcpy_fromiovecend() (CVE-2018-16885)

    * Kernel: KVM: leak of uninitialized stack contents to guest (CVE-2019-7222)
