high Nessus Plugin ID 234276

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2025:3685 advisory.

Red Hat Edge Manager provides streamlined management of edge devices and applications through a declarative approach. By defining the required state of your edge devices, which includes your operating system versions, host configurations, and application deployments, Red Hat Edge Manager automatically implements and maintains these configurations across your entire device fleet.

You can use Red Hat Edge Manager with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management to manage non-Kubernetes workloads and your operating system configuration on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux machine consistently with how you manage it on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

This advisory contains the RPMs for the Technology Preview version 0.5.1 of Red Hat Edge Manager. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be available shortly for this release, for additional details about this release:

https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_advanced_cluster_management_for_kubernetes/2.13/html/rele ase_notes/index

Security fix(es):

golang.org/x/crypto/ssh: Denial of Service in the Key Exchange of golang.org/x/crypto/ssh (CVE-2025-22869)

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

Solution

Update the affected flightctl, flightctl-agent and / or flightctl-selinux packages.
