    Package        : golang-websocket     Version        : 1.4.0-1+deb10u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2020-27813

    An integer overflow vulnerability exists in golang-websocket, a Go package     implementing the WebSocket protocol connection. An attacker would use this flaw     to cause a denial of service attack on an HTTP Server allowing websocket     connections.

    The following reverse-dependencies have been rebuilt against the new golang-     websocket version: hugo and gitlab-workhorse

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version     1.4.0-1+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your golang-websocket packages.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2021:0833 advisory.

    Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing     Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private     cloud deployments.

    This advisory contains the RPM packages for Red Hat OpenShift Container     Platform 3.11.404. See the following advisory for the container images for     this release:

    https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2021:0832

    This release fixes the following bugs:

    * Previously, node upgrade playbooks scoped all nodes instead of just the nodes that are filtered by the     `openshift_upgrade_nodes_label`. As a result, nodes that were not intended to be upgraded had yum     excluders disabled but not reenabled. With this release, the initialization of the variable for filtering     nodes to upgrade is moved to earlier in the play, and  preconfiguration is scoped to the filtered list of     nodes. As a result, only the nodes that are intended for upgrade have yum excluders disabled. (BZ#1917013)

    * Previously, node-based facts, such as `l_kubelet_node_name`, were set late in the upgrade cycle, causing     the fact to be undefined when referenced. With this release, node-based fact initialization happens     earlier in the upgrade cycle so that facts are set prior to being referenced. (BZ#1933090)

    * Previously, a bug fix in Ansible 2.9.10 changed the behavior of `delegate_to` for plays using     `connection: local` with `hosts: localhost`. This change caused tasks that are intended for remote hosts     to be executed locally. With this release, `connection: local` is removed for the affected play, and tasks     intended for remote hosts are executed on the remote host.  (BZ#1934136)

    Security Fix(es):

    * golang-github-gorilla-websocket: integer overflow leads to denial of service (CVE-2020-27813)
