Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for openstack-ceilometer.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2019:0566 advisory.

OpenStack Telemetry (ceilometer) collects customer usage data for metering purposes. Telemetry implements bus listener, push, and polling agents for data collection. This data is stored in a database and presented via the REST API. In addition, Telemetry's extensible design means it can be optionally extended to gather customized data sets.

Security Fix(es):

* openstack-ceilometer: ceilometer-agent prints sensitive data from config files through log files (CVE-2019-3830)

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.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL openstack-ceilometer package based on the guidance in RHSA-2019:0566.
