Hi OpenVas support,

Does OpenVas has plugins to detect openvswitch, qemu-kvm vulnerabilities for 
RHEL 7.0?
When executed a scan using Nessus and OpenVas, I could observed less overlap 
between their findings.
The major difference I could figured out that Nessus has detected openvSwitch & 
qemu-kvm vulnerabilities and the reason why these vulnerabilities are not 
detected by OpenVas is because nonexistent of the plugins in OpenVas for RHEL.

For example, CVE-2017-9263 is detected for RHEL by Nessus but the RHEL plugin 
for this CVE doesn't exist in OpenVas though OpenVas has plugin for Fedora, 
below is the link for reference:
http://plugins.openvas.org/nasl.php?oid=873506

Other major vulnerabilities undetected by OpenVas are:

  *   RHEL7: qemu-kvm-rhev (RHSA-2017:2418)
  *   RHEL7: qemu-kvm-rhev (RHSA-2017:2390)
  *   RHEL7: qemu-kvm-rhev (RHSA-2017:2392)
  *   RHEL7: qemu-kvm-rhev (RHSA-2017:2628)

Could you please let us know the reason why these plugins are not available for 
RHEL or any future plan to support the same.

Thanks,
Nitin
