RHCOS 4 : Red Hat build of MicroShift 4.16.0 (RHSA-2024:0043)

high Nessus Plugin ID 312058

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat CoreOS host is missing one or more security updates for Red Hat build of MicroShift 4.16.0.

Description

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0043 advisory.

- kubernetes: kube-apiserver: bypassing mountable secrets policy imposed by the ServiceAccount admission plugin (CVE-2024-3177)

- golang-protobuf: encoding/protojson, internal/encoding/json: infinite loop in protojson.Unmarshal when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid JSON (CVE-2024-24786)

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 Red Hat build of MicroShift 4.16.0 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:0043.
