Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for libguestfs-winsupport.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the libguestfs-winsupport-9.3-1.el9 build changelog.

 - A buffer overflow was discovered in NTFS-3G before 2022.10.3. Crafted metadata in an NTFS image can cause code execution. A local attacker can exploit this if the ntfs-3g binary is setuid root. A physically proximate attacker can exploit this if NTFS-3G software is configured to execute upon attachment of an external storage device. (CVE-2022-40284)
