medium Nessus Plugin ID 157331

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for virt:av / virt-devel:av.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:0397 advisory.

The Advanced Virtualization module provides the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products.

Security Fix(es):

* nbdkit: NBD_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY injection on STARTTLS (CVE-2021-3716)

* QEMU: block: fdc: null pointer dereference may lead to guest crash (CVE-2021-20196)

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):

* There is nbdkit curl error info if convert a guest from VMware without vddk by administrator account [rhel-av-8.5.z] (BZ#2040778)

* Fix data corruption in nbdkit-cow-filter and nbdkit-cache-filter [rhel-av-8.5z] (BZ#2040781)

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 RHEL virt:av / virt-devel:av packages based on the guidance in RHSA-2022:0397.
