The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - dpdk: Information exposure in unchecked guest physical to host virtual address translations     (CVE-2018-1059)

  - A flaw was found in the vhost library in DPDK. Function vhost_user_set_inflight_fd() does not validate     `msg->payload.inflight.num_queues`, possibly causing out-of-bounds memory read/write. Any software using     DPDK vhost library may crash as a result of this vulnerability. (CVE-2021-3839)

  - NVIDIA's distribution of the Data Plane Development Kit (MLNX_DPDK) contains a vulnerability in the     network stack, where error recovery is not handled properly, which can allow a remote attacker to cause     denial of service and some impact to data integrity and confidentiality. (CVE-2022-28199)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
