SYNOPSIS

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.


DESCRIPTION

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2023:4384 advisory.

- The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently
trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is
forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in /usr/lib is not necessarily
safe for loading into ssh-agent.) NOTE: this issue exists because of an
incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009. (CVE-2023-38408)

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


SOLUTION

Update the affected packages.
