Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2022-1566 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in Podman, where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty default permissions.
 A vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine), where containers were started incorrectly with non- empty inheritable Linux process capabilities. This flaw allows an attacker with access to programs with inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.
 (CVE-2022-27649)

 - A flaw was found in buildah where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions.
 A bug was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty inheritable Linux process capabilities, enabling an attacker with access to programs with inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs. This has the potential to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-27651)

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