      Description of Problem

       

      After registering a RHEL 8.10 system with console.redhat.com via sub-man as well as insights-client, cve-2022-0516 ( CVSS 7.8 ) shows up as affected but without any advisories. 

      How reproducible

      Always

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Install a RHEL 8.10 system ( even better a Satellite 6.15 )
      2. Register the system with console.redhat.com as well as insights. 
      3. Go to https://console.redhat.com/insights/inventory , Open the system, go to Vulnerability tab and clear all filters
      4. Search for CVEs with Important and Critical Severities. 

      Actual Behavior

      Among ~50 CVEs, lots of CVEs from 2022\2021\2020\2019\2018 will show up and one of them would be cve-2022-0516  which has CVSS 7.8 and concerning for the end-user

      Expected Behavior

      cve-2022-0516  should not show applicable for a system if it already has the expected ERRATAs applied or have a much higher kernel version installed. 

      Business Impact / Additional info

      Bad product experience by end-user , needing to unnecessarily go through each and every old CVEs, just to find out which one is invalid or false-positive
