According to its self-reported version number, the Puppet install running on the remote host is version 5.5.x prior to 2017.3.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: 

  - a remote code execution vulnerability due to incorrect     validation of strings in the facter_task or puppet_conf tasks. An     unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this issue to send a     specially crafted string into the affected tasks to remotely execute     code. (CVE-2018-6508)

  - an information disclosure vulnerability exists. An     unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this issue to retrieve a     facts from an environment it was not classified to retrieve from.     (CVE-2017-10690)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2927 advisory.

    Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructure.
    It allows for provisioning, remote management, and monitoring of multiple Linux deployments with a single     centralized tool.
