Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3389 advisory.

OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

This advisory contains the RPM packages for this release. An advisory for the container images for this release is available at: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2017:3390.

Space precludes documenting all of the bug fixes and enhancements in this advisory. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for details about these changes:

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.6/release_notes/ocp_3_6_release_notes.html

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.5/release_notes/ocp_3_5_release_notes.html

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.4/release_notes/ocp_3_4_release_notes.html

All OpenShift Container Platform 3 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages and images.

Security Fix(es):

* An attacker with knowledge of the given name used to authenticate and access Elasticsearch can later access it without the token, bypassing authentication. This attack also requires that the Elasticsearch be configured with an external route, and the data accessed is limited to the indices. (CVE-2017-12195)

This issue was discovered by Rich Megginson (Red Hat).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
