It was found in OpenShift, before version 4.8, that the generated certificate for the in-cluster Service CA, incorrectly included additional certificates. The Service CA is automatically mounted into all pods, allowing them to safely connect to trusted in-cluster services that present certificates signed by the trusted Service CA. The incorrect inclusion of additional CAs in this certificate would allow an attacker that compromises any of the additional CAs to masquerade as a trusted in-cluster service.

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:2437 advisory.

  - golang: crypto/elliptic: incorrect operations on the P-224 curve (CVE-2021-3114)

  - gogo/protobuf: plugin/unmarshal/unmarshal.go lacks certain index validation (CVE-2021-3121)

  - openshift: Injected service-ca.crt incorrectly contains additional internal CAs (CVE-2021-3636)

  - python-eventlet: improper handling of highly compressed data and memory allocation with excessive size     allows DoS (CVE-2021-21419)

  - jenkins-2-plugins/matrix-auth: Incorrect permission checks in Matrix Authorization Strategy Plugin     (CVE-2021-21623)

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