The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:6224 advisory.

    OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS)     protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.

    Security Fix(es):

    * openssl: c_rehash script allows command injection (CVE-2022-1292)

    * openssl: Signer certificate verification returns inaccurate response when using OCSP_NOCHECKS     (CVE-2022-1343)

    * openssl: OPENSSL_LH_flush() breaks reuse of memory (CVE-2022-1473)

    * openssl: the c_rehash script allows command injection (CVE-2022-2068)

    * openssl: AES OCB fails to encrypt some bytes (CVE-2022-2097)
