Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2019:2433 advisory.

Cockpit is a Linux system adminstration tool with a web UI, easy setup, and minimal system footprint at runtime. When installed on hosts in Red Hat Virtualization, it provides monitoring and management functions beyond those available in the Administration Portal. Cockpit is installed by default on Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH).

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: cockpit-ovirt (0.13.5).
(BZ#1705911, BZ#1711192, BZ#1719317, BZ#1723322)

Security Fix(es):

* cockpit-ovirt: admin and appliance passwords saved in plain text variable file during HE deployment (CVE-2019-10139)

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):

* In this release, the directory /var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/cockpit is created with read permissions only for user 'root'. Non 'root' users cannot view this directory. (BZ#1723322)

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
