The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:5701 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):
* ansible-core: malicious role archive can cause ansible-galaxy to overwrite arbitrary files (CVE-2023-5115)
* automation-controller: Django: Potential denial of service vulnerability in django.utils.encoding.uri_to_iri() (CVE-2023-41164)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Additional changes:
* ansible-core has been updated to 2.14.11
* automation-controller has been updated to 4.3.16
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.
