Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for RHV Engine / Host Common Packages.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2021:4703 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 ovirt.ovirt package (previously ovirt-ansible-collection) manages all oVirt Ansible modules.

The ovirt-ansible-hosted-engine-setup package provides an Ansible role for deploying Red Hat Virtualization Hosted-Engine.

otopi is a standalone, plug-in based installation framework to be used to set up system components. The plug-in nature provides simplicity to add new installation functionality without the complexity of the state and transaction management.

Security Fix(es):

* Ansible: ansible-connection module discloses sensitive info in traceback error message (CVE-2021-3620)

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):

* A playbook executed by Ansible Engine 2.9.25 inside a virtual machine running on Red Hat Virtualization 4.4.9 correctly detects that this is a virtual machine running on Red Hat Virtualization by using Ansible facts. (BZ#1904085)

* Red Hat Virtualization now supports Ansible-2.9.27 for internal usage. (BZ#2003671)

* Previously, upgrading from Red Hat Virtualization 4.3 failed when using an isolated network during IPv6 deployment. In this release, a forward network is used instead of an isolated network during an IPv6 deployment. As a result, upgrade from Red Hat Virtualization 4.3 using IPv6 now succeeds. (BZ#1947709)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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 RHEL RHV Engine / Host Common Packages packages based on the guidance in RHSA-2021:4703.
