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-2022:5678 advisory.

The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. 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.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: redhat-release-virtualization-host (4.5.1), redhat-virtualization-host (4.5.1), redhat-virtualization-host-productimg (4.5.1). (BZ#2062192, BZ#2070869, BZ#2094682)

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: buffer overflow in IPsec ESP transformation code (CVE-2022-27666)

* grub2: Integer underflow in grub_net_recv_ip4_packets (CVE-2022-28733)

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):

* RHV-H 4.4 SP1 Has been rebased on RHEL 8.6 Batch #1 (BZ#2070869)

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 redhat-virtualization-host-image-update package.
