RHCOS 4 : OpenShift Container Platform 4.10.52 (RHSA-2023:0697)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 189438

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat CoreOS host is missing one or more security updates for OpenShift Container Platform 4.10.52.

Description

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:0697 advisory.

- SnakeYaml's Constructor() class does not restrict types which can be instantiated during deserialization.
Deserializing yaml content provided by an attacker can lead to remote code execution. We recommend using SnakeYaml's SafeConsturctor when parsing untrusted content to restrict deserialization. We recommend upgrading to version 2.0 and beyond. (CVE-2022-1471)

- In Jenkins 2.355 and earlier, LTS 2.332.3 and earlier, an observable timing discrepancy on the login form allows distinguishing between login attempts with an invalid username, and login attempts with a valid username and wrong password, when using the Jenkins user database security realm. (CVE-2022-34174)

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

Solution

Update the RHCOS OpenShift Container Platform 4.10.52 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2023:0697.
