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 remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - fence-agents: mis-handling of non-ASCII characters in guest comment fields (CVE-2019-10153)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

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