The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:8534 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * automation-controller: Django: Memory exhaustion in django.utils.numberformat.floatformat()     (CVE-2024-41989)
    * automation-controller: Django: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in django.utils.html.urlize()     (CVE-2024-45230)
    * automation-gateway: XSS on automation-gateway (CVE-2024-10033)
    * receptor: quic-go: memory exhaustion attack against QUIC's connection ID mechanism (CVE-2024-22189)

    Container-based Ansible Automation Platform
    * The TLS Certificate Authority private key can now use a passphrase. (AAP-33594)
    * Automation hub is populated with container images (decision and execution environments) and Ansible     collections. (AAP-33759)

    * Removed the variable aap_caching_mtls and replaced it with redis_disable_tls and redis_disable_mtls     which are boolean flags that disable Redis server TLS and Redis client certificate authentication.
    (AAP-33773)
    * An informative redirect page is now shown when going to automation controller, Event-Driven Ansible, or     automation hub URL. (AAP-33827)
