The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:0196 advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Serialization).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u241, 8u231, 11.0.5 and 13.0.1; Java SE Embedded:
    8u231. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple     protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded.
    Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web     Start applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code     that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can also be     exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the     APIs. (CVE-2020-2583)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Security). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u241, 8u231, 11.0.5 and 13.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u231.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via Kerberos to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This     vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that     comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can also be     exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the     APIs. (CVE-2020-2590)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Networking).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u241, 8u231, 11.0.5 and 13.0.1; Java SE Embedded:
    8u231. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple     protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data as well     as unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This     vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that     comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can also be     exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the     APIs. (CVE-2020-2593)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Security). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u241, 8u231, 11.0.5 and 13.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u231.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via Kerberos to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. While the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, attacks may     significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data.
    Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web     Start applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code     that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can also be     exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the     APIs. (CVE-2020-2601)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Serialization).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u241, 8u231, 11.0.5 and 13.0.1; Java SE Embedded:
    8u231. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple     protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     takeover of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in     clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load     and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for     security. This vulnerability can also be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through     a web service which supplies data to the APIs. (CVE-2020-2604)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported versions that are     affected are Java SE: 7u241, 8u231, 11.0.5 and 13.0.1. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service     (partial DOS) of Java SE. Note: This vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the     specified Component without using Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as     through a web service. (CVE-2020-2654)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Networking).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u241 and 8u231; Java SE Embedded: 8u231. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Note: This     vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start     applications or sandboxed Java applets (in Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that     comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can also be     exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g., through a web service which supplies data to the     APIs. (CVE-2020-2659)
