The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2020:4436 advisory.

The gnome-software packages contain an application that makes it easy to add, remove, and update software     in the GNOME desktop.

The appstream-data package provides the distribution specific AppStream metadata required for the GNOME     and KDE software centers.

The fwupd packages provide a service that allows session software to update device firmware.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: gnome-software (3.36.1), fwupd     (1.4.2).

Security Fix(es):

* fwupd: Possible bypass in signature verification (CVE-2020-10759)

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:

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 Release Notes     linked from the References section.

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.
