OpenSCAP reports show kernel vulnerabilities even when latest kernel is installed

Issue

Even if a system has the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) kernel installed and that kernel is running, OpenSCAP scans against Red Hat provided OVAL and XCCDF data can result in reported kernel related failures (I.E. showing that the system is considered non-compliant/vulnerable). Red Hat Security Advisories (RHSAs) related to those vulnerabilities are seen to be resolved via kernel versions that are earlier than or equal to the system's running kernel.
