A regression was introduced in the Red Hat build of python-eventlet due to a change in the patch application strategy, resulting in a patch for CVE-2021-21419 not being applied for all builds of all products.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0188 advisory.

    Eventlet is a networking library written in Python. It achieves high     scalability by using non-blocking io while at the same time retaining high     programmer usability by using coroutines to make the non-blocking io     operations appear blocking at the source code     level.

    Security Fix(es):

    * patch regression for CVE-2021-21419 in some Red Hat builds     (CVE-2023-5625)
