RHEL 8 : Red Hat Virtualization (RHSA-2023:0759)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 194213

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for Red Hat Virtualization.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2023:0759 advisory.

 PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system. The postgresql-jdbc package includes the .jar files needed for Java programs to access a PostgreSQL database.

 Security Fix(es):

 * postgresql-jdbc: PreparedStatement.setText(int, InputStream) will create a temporary file if the InputStream is larger than 2k (CVE-2022-41946)

 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):

 * With this release, the upgrade function of the ovirt_host module waits long enough for the upgraded host to reach the desired state after upgrade. (BZ#2161703)

 * Previously,the ovirt-enghine ansible-runner artifacts were only cleaned once, and the machine could run out of free disk space on the /var partition. In this release, the artifacts are cleaned periodically according to values defined in the AnsibleRunnerArtifactsCleanupCheckTimeInHours and AnsibleRunnerArtifactsLifetimeInDays engine-config options. (BZ#2151549)

 * Code change for BZ2089299 introduced a regression, which didn't allow to set options in the engine- config which restricted the allowable values using the validValues field (for example ClientModeVncDefault or UserSessionTimeOutInterval).
 In this release, setting values for those fields works the same way as in RHV versions earlier than RHV 4.4 SP1 batch 3 (ovirt-engine-4.5.3). (BZ#2159768)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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 Red Hat Virtualization package based on the guidance in RHSA-2023:0759.
