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-2019:1907 advisory.

The podman tool manages pods, container images, and containers. It is part of the libpod library, which is for applications that use container pods. Container pods is a concept in Kubernetes.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: podman (1.4.4). (BZ#1717919)

Security Fix(es):

* podman: Improper symlink resolution allows access to host files when executing `podman cp` on running containers (CVE-2019-10152)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* Error: pod was given but no pod is specified: invalid argument (BZ#1727873)

* Podman stats failed with Error: unable to obtain cgroup stats (BZ#1728242)

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 podman and / or podman-docker packages.
