Synopsis
The remote Red Hat CoreOS host is missing a security update for OpenShift Container Platform 4.9.59.Description
The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2023:1524 advisory.- Apache Commons Text performs variable interpolation, allowing properties to be dynamically evaluated and expanded. The standard format for interpolation is ${prefix:name}, where prefix is used to locate an instance of org.apache.commons.text.lookup.StringLookup that performs the interpolation. Starting with version 1.5 and continuing through 1.9, the set of default Lookup instances included interpolators that could result in arbitrary code execution or contact with remote servers. These lookups are: - script - execute expressions using the JVM script execution engine (javax.script) - dns - resolve dns records - url - load values from urls, including from remote servers Applications using the interpolation defaults in the affected versions may be vulnerable to remote code execution or unintentional contact with remote servers if untrusted configuration values are used. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Commons Text 1.10.0, which disables the problematic interpolators by default. (CVE-2022-42889)
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 RHCOS OpenShift Container Platform 4.9.59 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2023:1524.See Also
