"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2026:0331 advisory.

    Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing
    Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private
    cloud deployments.

    This advisory contains the RPM packages for Red Hat OpenShift Container
    Platform 4.18.31. See the following advisory for the container images for
    this release:

    https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026-338

    Security Fix(es):

    * runc: container escape via 'masked path' abuse due to mount race
    conditions (CVE-2025-31133)
    * runc: container escape with malicious config due to /dev/console mount
    and related races (CVE-2025-52565)
    * runc: opencontainers/selinux: container escape and denial of service due
    to arbitrary write gadgets and procfs write redirects (CVE-2025-52881)

    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.

    All OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 users are advised to upgrade to these
    updated packages and images when they are available in the appropriate
    release channel. To check for available updates, use the OpenShift CLI (oc)
    or web console. Instructions for upgrading a cluster are available at
    https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.18/html-
    single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-cli.
