New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:4676 advisory.

 - QEMU: Slirp: use-after-free during packet reassembly (CVE-2019-15890)

 - libvirt: Potential DoS by holding a monitor job while querying QEMU guest-agent (CVE-2019-20485)

 - libvirt: Potential denial of service via active pool without target path (CVE-2020-10703)

 - libvirt: leak of sensitive cookie information via dumpxml (CVE-2020-14301)

 - libvirt: leak of /dev/mapper/control into QEMU guests (CVE-2020-14339)

 - QEMU: slirp: use-after-free in ip_reass() function in ip_input.c (CVE-2020-1983)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
