high Nessus Plugin ID 194821

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for podman.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2548 advisory.

 The podman tool manages pods, container images, and containers. It is part of the libpod library, which is for applications that use container pods. Container pods is a concept in Kubernetes.

 Security Fixes:

 * podman: golang-protobuf: encoding/protojson, internal/encoding/json: infinite loop in protojson.Unmarshal when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid JSON (CVE-2024-24786)

 * podman: buildah: full container escape at build time (CVE-2024-1753)

 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 Fixes:

 * liveness probe not called by podman when using httpGet (JIRA:RHEL-28633)

 * Unable to copy image from one virtual machine to another using podman image scp (JIRA:RHEL-28629)

 * [v4.9] Backport two docker CLI compatibility fixes (JIRA:RHEL-28636)

 * Issue in podman causing S2I to fail in overwriting ENTRYPOINT (JIRA:RHEL-14922)

 * Need to backport podman fix for SIGSEGV in RHEL 9.3/8.9 for UBI based containers (JIRA:RHEL-26843)

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

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

Solution

Update the RHEL podman package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:2548.
