Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4785 advisory.

 [1:1.2-5.el7]
 - Update spec file to remove 'modprobe kvm-intel' and remove --enable-kvm arg to ovmf_vars_generator so qemu will not require kvm kernel module. (Aaron Young)
 - Update spec file to modprobe kvm_intel module prior to running qemu to enroll default keys. (Aaron Young)
 - Enroll Oracle cert/key for OL secureboot support. (Aaron Young)

 [1:1.2-2.el7]
 - Change Image.c image load error to DEBUG_WARN from DEBUG_ERROR since it is normal for some images to fail to load if the associated hardware is not present. Such is the case with Ramfb. (Aaron Young) [Orabug: 28868674]
 - Fix AAVMF build. Pull in OpenSSL code (as is done for x86_64) (Aaron Young)
 - Update AAVMF change log for version 1.2 (Aaron Young)

 [1:1.2-1.el7]
 - Update spec files and OVMF change log to version 1.2

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle 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
