critical Nessus Plugin ID 142002

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for OpenShift Container Platform 4.6.1.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 / 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:4297 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 runC tool is a lightweight, portable implementation of the Open Container Format (OCF) that provides container runtime.

The skopeo command lets you inspect images from container image registries, get images and image layers, and use signatures to create and verify files.

Security Fix(es):

* jenkins-jira-plugin: plugin information disclosure (CVE-2019-16541)

* jenkins-2-plugins/mailer: Missing hostname validation in Mailer Plugin could result in MITM (CVE-2020-2252)

* jenkins-2-plugins/blueocean: Path traversal vulnerability in Blue Ocean Plugin could allow to read arbitrary files (CVE-2020-2254)

* jenkins-2-plugins/blueocean: Blue Ocean Plugin does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints implementing connection tests. (CVE-2020-2255)

* kubernetes: Docker config secrets leaked when file is malformed and loglevel >= 4 (CVE-2020-8564)

* golang.org/x/text: possibility to trigger an infinite loop in encoding/unicode could lead to crash (CVE-2020-14040)

* podman: environment variables leak between containers when started via Varlink or Docker-compatible REST API (CVE-2020-14370)

* golang: ReadUvarint and ReadVarint can read an unlimited number of bytes from invalid inputs (CVE-2020-16845)

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 4.6.1 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:4297.
