Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for ansible-core.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:3043 advisory.Ansible is a radically simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote task execution system.

Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines automatically.
Security Fix(es):
* ansible-core: possible information leak in tasks that ignore ANSIBLE_NO_LOG configuration (CVE-2024-0690)
Bug Fix(es):
* Update ansible-core to 2.16.3 (JIRA:RHEL-23782)
* Rebuild ansible-core with python 3.12 (JIRA:RHEL-24141)
