"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2016:0364 advisory.

    OpenStack Compute (nova) launches and schedules large networks of
    virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing
    platform. Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs
    required to orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine
    instances and controlling access through users and projects.

    An information-exposure flaw was found in the OpenStack Compute (nova)
    resize and migrate functionality. An authenticated user could write a
    malicious qcow header to an ephemeral or root disk, referencing a block
    device as a backing file. With a subsequent resize or migration, file
    system content on the specified device would be leaked to the user. Only
    setups using libvirt with raw storage and use_cow_images = False were
    affected. (CVE-2016-2140)

    This issue was discovered by Matthew Booth of Red Hat.

    All openstack-nova users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
    which correct this issue.

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

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