The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:1101 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-53907:
    An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.4, 5.0 before 5.0.10, and 4.2 before 4.2.17. Direct usage     of the django.db.models.fields.json.HasKey lookup, when an Oracle database is used, is subject to SQL     injection if untrusted data is used as an lhs value. (Applications that use the jsonfield.has_key lookup     via __ are unaffected.)

    CVE-2024-53908:
    An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.4, 5.0 before 5.0.10, and 4.2 before 4.2.17. The     strip_tags() method and striptags template filter are subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via     certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.

    CVE-2024-45230:
    An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.1, 5.0 before 5.0.9, and 4.2 before 4.2.16. The urlize()     and urlizetrunc() template filters are subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via very large     inputs with a specific sequence of characters.

    CVE-2024-45231:
    An issue was discovered in Django v5.1.1, v5.0.9, and v4.2.16. The     django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm class, when used in a view implementing password reset flows,     allows remote attackers to enumerate user e-mail addresses by sending password reset requests and     observing the outcome (only when e-mail sending is consistently failing).

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:8534 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * automation-controller: Django: Memory exhaustion in django.utils.numberformat.floatformat()     (CVE-2024-41989)
    * automation-controller: Django: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in django.utils.html.urlize()     (CVE-2024-45230)
    * automation-gateway: XSS on automation-gateway (CVE-2024-10033)
    * receptor: quic-go: memory exhaustion attack against QUIC's connection ID mechanism (CVE-2024-22189)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    Updates and fixes included:

    * With this update, upgrades from Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 to 2.5 are supported for RPM and     Operator-based deployments for Automation controller and Automation hub. For more information on how to     upgrade, refer to the Upgrading section of the AAP landing page. (ANSTRAT-809)

    Container-based Ansible Automation Platform
    * The TLS Certificate Authority private key can now use a passphrase. (AAP-33594)
    * Automation hub is populated with container images (decision and execution environments) and Ansible     collections. (AAP-33759)
    * The Automation controller, Event-Driven Ansible, and automation hub legacy UIs now display a redirect     page to the Platform UI rather than a blank page. (AAP-33794)
    * Fixed the uninstall playbook execution when the environment was already uninstalled. (AAP-32981)
    * containerized installer setup has been updated to 2.5-3

    RPM-based Ansible Automation Platform
    * Added platform Redis to RPM-based Ansible Automation Platform. This allows a 6 node cluster for a Redis     high availability (HA) deployment. (AAP-33773)
    * Removed the variable aap_caching_mtls and replaced it with redis_disable_tls and redis_disable_mtls     which are boolean flags that disable Redis server TLS and Redis client certificate authentication.
    (AAP-33773)
    * An informative redirect page is now shown when going to automation controller, Event-Driven Ansible, or     automation hub URL. (AAP-33827)
