high Nessus Plugin ID 148566

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:1186 advisory.

The ovirt-engine package provides the manager for virtualization environments.
This manager enables admins to define hosts and networks, as well as to add storage, create VMs and manage user permissions.

Bug Fix(es):
* Previously, saving user preferences in the Red Hat Virtualization Manager required the MANIPULATE_USERS permission level. As a result, user preferences were not saved on the server.
In this release, the required permission level for saving user preferences was changed to EDIT_PROFILE, which is the permission level assigned by default to all users. As a result, saving user preferences works as expected. (BZ#1920539)

A list of bugs fixed in this update is available in the Technical Notes book:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html-single/technical_notes

Security Fix(es):

* nodejs-bootstrap-select: not escaping title values on <option> may lead to XSS (CVE-2019-20921)

* datatables.net: prototype pollution if 'constructor' were used in a data property name (CVE-2020-28458)

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 affected ovirt-engine-ui-extensions package.
