Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2 (openstack-neutron).

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2023:4283 advisory.

OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a virtual network service for OpenStack. Just as OpenStack Compute (nova) provides an API to dynamically request and configure virtual servers, OpenStack Networking provides an API to dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect 'interfaces' from other OpenStack services (e.g. virtual NICs from Compute VMs). The OpenStack Networking API supports extensions to provide advanced network capabilities (e.g. QoS, ACLs, network monitoring, etc.)

Security Fix(es):

* openstack-neutron: unrestricted creation of security groups (fix for CVE-2022-3277) (CVE-2023-3637)
