A flaw was discovered in fence-agents, prior to version 4.3.4, where using non-ASCII characters in a guest VM's comment or other fields would cause fence_rhevm to exit with an exception. In cluster environments, this could lead to preventing automated recovery or otherwise denying service to clusters of which that VM is a member.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A flaw was discovered in fence-agents, prior to version 4.3.4, where using non-ASCII characters in a guest     VM's comment or other fields would cause fence_rhevm to exit with an exception. In cluster environments,     this could lead to preventing automated recovery or otherwise denying service to clusters of which that VM     is a member. (CVE-2019-10153)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the version of the fence-agents packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :
