Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for openstack-puppet-modules.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0359 advisory.

openstack-puppet-modules provides a collection of Puppet modules which Red Hat OpenStack Platform director uses to install and configure OpenStack.
