Synopsis

The remote Red Hat CoreOS host is missing one or more security updates for OpenShift Container Platform 3.10 atomic- openshift kube-apiserver.

Description

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:2989 advisory.

- atomic-openshift: OpenShift builds don't verify SSH Host Keys for the git repository (CVE-2019-10150)

- containers/image: not enforcing TLS when sending username+password credentials to token servers leading to credential disclosure (CVE-2019-10214)

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