Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

An update for the virt:rhel module is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link (s) in the References section.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offers a full virtualization solution for Linux on numerous hardware platforms.
