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.

  - openssl: Malformed X.509 IPAdressFamily could cause OOB read (CVE-2017-3735)

  - edk2: numeric truncation in MdeModulePkg/PiDxeS3BootScriptLib (CVE-2019-14563)

  - If an SSL/TLS server or client is running on a 32-bit host, and a specific cipher is being used, then a     truncated packet can cause that server or client to perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a     crash. For OpenSSL 1.1.0, the crash can be triggered when using CHACHA20/POLY1305; users should upgrade to     1.1.0d. For Openssl 1.0.2, the crash can be triggered when using RC4-MD5; users who have not disabled that     algorithm should update to 1.0.2k. (CVE-2017-3731)

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