Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6668-1 advisory.

It was discovered that when python-openstackclient attempted to delete a non-existing access rule, it would delete another existing access rule instead, contrary to expectations.
