Uncontrolled resource consumption in some Intel(R) SSD Tools software before version mdadm-4.2-rc2 may allow a priviledged user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - mdadm: Uncontrolled resource consumption (CVE-2023-28938)

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

According to the versions of the mdadm package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Buffer overflow in some Intel(R) SSD Tools software before version mdadm-4.2-rc2 may allow a privileged     user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2023-28736)

  - Uncontrolled resource consumption in some Intel(R) SSD Tools software before version mdadm-4.2-rc2 may     allow a priviledged user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2023-28938)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
