The RHEL 8 host is missing security update for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2.4 (protobuf) (RHSA-2022:8847) which has a vulnerability in the python3-protobuf package due to incorrect parsing of nullchar in the proto symbol leading to Nullptr dereference (CVE-2021-22570)

    Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient
    yet extensible format. Google uses Protocol Buffers for almost all of
    its internal RPC protocols and file formats.

    Protocol buffers are a flexible, efficient, automated mechanism for
    serializing structured data  think XML, but smaller, faster, and
    simpler. You define how you want your data to be structured once, then
    you can use special generated source code to easily write and read
    your structured data to and from a variety of data streams and using a
    variety of languages. You can even update your data structure without
    breaking deployed programs that are compiled against the old format. This package contains Protocol
    Buffers compiler for all programming
    languages and C++ headers and Static libraries for Protocol Buffers built with optimize_for =
    LITE_RUNTIME.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Incorrect parsing of nullchar in the proto symbol leads to Nullptr dereference (CVE-2021-22570)

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
