Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise Kibana.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:1836 advisory.OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing Platform- as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.
Security Fix(es):
* A flaw was found in Kibana's logging functionality. If custom logging output was configured in Kibana, private user data could be written to the Kibana log files. A system attacker could use this data to hijack sessions of other users when using Kibana behind some form of authentication such as Shield.
* A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in Kibana. A remote attacker could use this flaw to inject arbitrary web script into pages served to other users.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
