The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2004 advisory.

    The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

    Security fixes:

    * kernel: use after free in unix_stream_sendpage (CVE-2023-4622)

    * Kernel: bluetooth: Unauthorized management command execution (CVE-2023-2002)

    * kernel: irdma: Improper access control (CVE-2023-25775)

    * kernel: net/sched: sch_hfsc UAF (CVE-2023-4623)

    * kernel: race condition in VT_RESIZEX ioctl when vc_cons[i].d is already NULL leading to NULL pointer     dereference (CVE-2020-36558)

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * NFS client closes active connection (RHEL-22193)

    * kernel panic at __list_del_entry from smb2_reconnect_server (RHEL-26301)

    * kernel: race condition when call to VT_RESIZEX ioctl and vc_cons[i].d is already NULL, causing a NULL     pointer dereference. (RHEL-28639)

    * kernel: net/sched: sch_hfsc UAF (RHEL-16458)

    * kernel: irdma: Improper access control (RHEL-6299)

    * The message in RHEL 7 ?stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in:? is triggered because     perf_trace_buf_prepare() does not verify that per_cpu array perf_trace_buf has allocated per_cpu buffers     in it. (RHEL-18052)

    * [rhel7] gfs2: Invalid metadata access in punch_hole (RHEL-28785)

    * UDP packets dropped due to SELinux denial (RHEL-27751)

    * Boot fails with kernel panic at acpi_device_hid+0x6 (RHEL-8721)
