Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for containernetworking-plugins.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:0406 advisory.

The Container Network Interface (CNI) project consists of a specification and libraries for writing plug- ins for configuring network interfaces in Linux containers, along with a number of supported plug-ins. CNI concerns itself only with network connectivity of containers and removing allocated resources when the container is deleted.

Security Fix(es):

* HTTP/2: flood using PING frames results in unbounded memory growth (CVE-2019-9512)

* HTTP/2: flood using HEADERS frames results in unbounded memory growth (CVE-2019-9514)

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.

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

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

Solution

Update the RHEL containernetworking-plugins package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:0406.
