Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2101 advisory.Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the company's cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.
Security Fix(es):
* A regular expression denial of service flaw was found in Tough-Cookie. An attacker able to make an application using Touch-Cookie to parse a sufficiently large HTTP request Cookie header could cause the application to consume an excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2016-1000232)
* It was found that the reason argument in ServerResponse#writeHead() was not properly validated. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct an HTTP response splitting attack via a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2016-5325)
