The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2021:0383 advisory.

    The ovirt-engine package provides the Red Hat Virtualization Manager, a centralized management platform     that allows system administrators to view and manage virtual machines. The Manager provides a     comprehensive range of features including search capabilities, resource management, live migrations, and     virtual infrastructure provisioning.

    The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides several interfaces through which the     virtual environment can be accessed and interacted with, including an Administration Portal, a VM Portal,     and a Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).

    Security Fix(es):

    * ovirt-engine: non-admin user is able to access other users public SSH key (CVE-2020-35497)

    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):

    * Previously, you could not migrate the master role to a newer domain without migrating the virtual     machines from the old domain and putting it into maintenance mode. Additionally, you could not put a     hosted_storage domain into maintenance mode.

    With this release, you can use the REST API to move the master role to another storage domain without     putting the domain into maintenance mode.

    For example, to set a storage domain with ID `456` as a master on a data center with ID `123`, send the     following request:

    ----     POST /ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/123/setmaster

    With a request body like this:

    <action>       <storage_domain id=456/>     </action>
    ----

    Alternatively, this example uses the name of the storage domain:

    ----     <action>       <storage_domain>         <name>my-nfs</name>       </storage_domain>     </action>
    ----     (BZ#1576923)

    * Previously when a virtual machine moved from one cluster to another, resulting in the virtual machine's     chipset changing, then the virtual machine did not run successfully.

    With this release, when a virtual machine moves from one cluster to another, it's devices and chipset are     automatically updated, and the virtual machine runs successfully. (BZ#1894454)

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