The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2954 advisory.

    Red Hat Ceph Storage is a scalable, open, software-defined storage platform that combines the most stable     version of the Ceph storage system with a Ceph management platform, deployment utilities, and support     services.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A flaw was found in the way Ceph Object Gateway would process cross-origin HTTP requests if the CORS     policy was set to allow origin on a bucket. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause     denial of service by sending a specially-crafted cross-origin HTTP request. (CVE-2016-9579)

    Bug Fix(es):

    * Due to a bug in the underlying source code, OSD nodes sometimes looped through the entire placement     group, not only the requested segment, during the scrubbing process. Consequently, in some cases, the OSD     nodes reached the 'suicide timeout' and terminated. This bug has been fixed, and OSD nodes no longer     terminate due to the described problem. (BZ#1394007)

    * Due to changes in encoding of the OSD map in the ceph package version 10.2.2, upgrading from Red Hat     Ceph Storage 1.3 to 2.0 sometimes led to serious performance issues on large clusters that contain     hundreds of OSDs. With this update, the underlying source code has been improved, and upgrading from 1.3     to 2.0 works as expected. (BZ#1402185)
