There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - A security issue was discovered in kube-apiserver that could allow node updates to bypass a Validating
    Admission Webhook. Clusters are only affected by this vulnerability if they run a Validating Admission
    Webhook for Nodes that denies admission based at least partially on the old state of the Node object.
    Validating Admission Webhook does not observe some previous fields. (CVE-2021-25735)

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:2437 advisory.

  - golang: crypto/elliptic: incorrect operations on the P-224 curve (CVE-2021-3114)

  - gogo/protobuf: plugin/unmarshal/unmarshal.go lacks certain index validation (CVE-2021-3121)

  - openshift: Injected service-ca.crt incorrectly contains additional internal CAs (CVE-2021-3636)

  - python-eventlet: improper handling of highly compressed data and memory allocation with excessive size     allows DoS (CVE-2021-21419)

  - jenkins-2-plugins/matrix-auth: Incorrect permission checks in Matrix Authorization Strategy Plugin     (CVE-2021-21623)

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

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A security issue was discovered in kube-apiserver that could allow node updates to bypass a Validating     Admission Webhook. Clusters are only affected by this vulnerability if they run a Validating Admission     Webhook for Nodes that denies admission based at least partially on the old state of the Node object.
    Validating Admission Webhook does not observe some previous fields. (CVE-2021-25735)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
