The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:5585 advisory.

  - In Eclipse OpenJ9 prior to version 0.21 on Power platforms, calling the System.arraycopy method with a     length longer than the length of the source or destination array can, in certain specially crafted code     patterns, cause the current method to return prematurely with an undefined return value. This allows     whatever value happens to be in the return register at that time to be used as if it matches the method's     declared return type. (CVE-2019-17639)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Libraries). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251. Difficult to     exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data as well as     unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: Applies to client     and server deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start     applications and sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the     specified Component without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as     through a web service. (CVE-2020-14556)

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE). Supported     versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261, 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to     compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded.
