The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.
libtpms: out-of-bounds access when trying to resume the state of the vTPM (CVE-2021-3623)
A flaw was found in libtpms in versions before 0.8.2. The commonly used integration of libtpms with OpenSSL contained a vulnerability related to the returned IV (initialization vector) when certain symmetric ciphers were used. Instead of returning the last IV it returned the initial IV to the caller, thus weakening the subsequent encryption and decryption steps. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3446)
A flaw was found in libtpms in versions before 0.8.0. The TPM 2 implementation returns 2048 bit keys with ~1984 bit strength due to a bug in the TCG specification. The bug is in the key creation algorithm in RsaAdjustPrimeCandidate(), which is called before the prime number check. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3505)
A stack corruption bug was found in libtpms in versions before 0.7.2 and before 0.8.0 while decrypting data using RSA. This flaw could result in a SIGBUS (bad memory access) and termination of swtpm. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3569)
A flaw was found in the libtpms code that may cause access beyond the boundary of internal buffers. The vulnerability is triggered by specially-crafted TPM2 command packets that then trigger the issue when the state of the TPM2’s volatile state is written. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This issue affects libtpms versions before 0.8.5, before 0.7.9 and before 0.6.6.
(CVE-2021-3746)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
