medium Nessus Plugin ID 194438

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-2024:0322 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):

* python3-gitpython/python39-gitpython: Blind local file inclusion (CVE-2023-41040)

* python3-twisted/python39-twisted: disordered HTTP pipeline response in twisted.web (CVE-2023-46137)

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.

Additional changes:
* python3-dynaconf/python39-dynaconf has been updated to 3.1.12-2
* python3-gitpython/python39-gitpython has been updated to 3.1.40
* python3-twisted/python39-twisted has been updated to 23.10.0
