The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:7472 advisory.

    Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offers a full virtualization solution for Linux on numerous hardware     platforms. The virt:rhel module contains packages which provide user-space components used to run virtual     machines using KVM. The packages also provide APIs for managing and interacting with the virtualized     systems.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: qemu-kvm (6.2.0). (BZ#2066828)

    Security Fix(es):

    * QEMU: fdc: heap buffer overflow in DMA read data transfers (CVE-2021-3507)
