high Nessus Plugin ID 139006

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for OpenShift Container Platform 3.11.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2992 advisory.

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

Security Fix(es):

* cri-o: A flaw was found in cri-o that can result in container management (conmon) processes being killed if a workload process triggers an out-of-memory (OOM) condition for the cgroup. (CVE-2019-14891)

* nodejs-minimist: Prototype pollution allows adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a `constructor` or `__proto__` payload. (CVE-2020-7598)

* kubernetes: Use of unbounded 'client' label in apiserver_request_total allows repeated, crafted HTTP requests to exhaust available memory and cause a crash. (CVE-2020-8552)

* kubernetes: A flaw was found in Kubernetes that allows attackers on adjacent networks to reach services exposed on localhost ports and gain privileges or access confidential information for any services listening on localhost ports that are not protected by authentication. (CVE-2020-8558)

* proglottis/gpgme: A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Go GPGME wrapper library, github.com/proglottis/gpgme. (CVE-2020-8945)

* openshift/console: A flaw allowed text injection on error pages with a crafted URL. (CVE-2020-10715)

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 OpenShift Container Platform 3.11 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:2992.
