The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:1975 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: fget: check that the fd still exists after getting a ref to it (CVE-2021-4083)

    * kernel: avoid cyclic entity chains due to malformed USB descriptors (CVE-2020-0404)

    * kernel: integer overflow in k_ascii() in drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c (CVE-2020-13974)

    * kernel: out-of-bounds read in bpf_skb_change_head() of filter.c due to a use-after-free (CVE-2021-0941)

    * kernel: use-after-free in hso_free_net_device() in drivers/net/usb/hso.c (CVE-2021-37159)

    * kernel: eBPF multiplication integer overflow in prealloc_elems_and_freelist() in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c     leads to out-of-bounds write (CVE-2021-41864)

    * kernel: Heap buffer overflow in firedtv driver (CVE-2021-42739)

    * kernel: an array-index-out-bounds in detach_capi_ctr in drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c (CVE-2021-43389)

    * kernel: mwifiex_usb_recv() in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows an attacker to cause DoS     via crafted USB device (CVE-2021-43976)

    * kernel: use-after-free in the TEE subsystem (CVE-2021-44733)

    * kernel: information leak in the IPv6 implementation (CVE-2021-45485)
