Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for RHV-H.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:2737 advisory.

The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host.
These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: size_t-to-int conversion vulnerability in the filesystem layer (CVE-2021-33909)
