Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 33 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2021-fb466fb623 advisory.

 - An improper limitation of path name flaw was found in containernetworking/cni in versions before 0.8.1.
 When specifying the plugin to load in the 'type' field in the network configuration, it is possible to use special elements such as ../ separators to reference binaries elsewhere on the system. This flaw allows an attacker to execute other existing binaries other than the cni plugins/types, such as 'reboot'. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
 (CVE-2021-20206)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
