The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2017-02941 advisory.

  - The dccp_rcv_state_process function in net/dccp/input.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.11 mishandles     DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet data structures in the LISTEN state, which allows local users to obtain root     privileges or cause a denial of service (double free) via an application that makes an IPV6_RECVPKTINFO     setsockopt system call. (CVE-2017-6074)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
