The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2649 advisory.
instack-undercloud provides a collection of scripts and elements that can be used to install an OpenStack undercloud (using python-instack).
The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
instack-undercloud (5.3.0). (BZ#1479841)
Security Fix(es):
* A flaw was found in instack-undercloud where pre-install and security policy scripts used insecure temporary files. A local user could exploit this flaw to conduct a symbolic-link attack, allowing them to overwrite the contents of arbitrary files. (CVE-2017-7549)
This issue was discovered by Matthew Booth (Red Hat).
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.
