Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.
Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:6158 advisory.
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless language.
Security Fix(es):
* automation-controller: Django: Denial-of-service possibility in django.utils.text.Truncator (CVE-2023-43665)
* python3-urllib3/python39-urllib3: Cookie request header isn't stripped during cross-origin redirects (CVE-2023-43804)
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.
Updates and fixes for automation controller:
* automation-controller has been updated to 4.4.7
