Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2022:8855 advisory.

OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a virtual network service for OpenStack.

The OpenStack Networking API supports extensions to provide advanced network capabilities (e.g. QoS, ACLs, network monitoring, etc.)

Security Fix(es):

* unrestricted creation of security groups (CVE-2022-3277)
