An updated rhev-hypervisor5 package that fixes several security issues and various bugs is now available.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The rhev-hypervisor5 package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agent.

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

A heap overflow flaw was found in the way QEMU-KVM emulated the e1000 network interface card. A privileged guest user in a virtual machine whose network interface is configured to use the e1000 emulated driver could use this flaw to crash the host or, possibly, escalate their privileges on the host. (CVE-2012-0029)

A divide-by-zero flaw was found in the Linux kernel's igmp_heard_query() function. An attacker able to send certain IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) packets to a target system could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-0207)

A double free flaw was discovered in the policy checking code in OpenSSL. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application that uses OpenSSL by providing an X.509 certificate that has specially crafted policy extension data. (CVE-2011-4109)

An information leak flaw was found in the SSL 3.0 protocol implementation in OpenSSL. Incorrect initialization of SSL record padding bytes could cause an SSL client or server to send a limited amount of possibly sensitive data to its SSL peer via the encrypted connection. (CVE-2011-4576)

It was discovered that OpenSSL did not limit the number of TLS/SSL handshake restarts required to support Server Gated Cryptography. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make a TLS/SSL server using OpenSSL consume an excessive amount of CPU by continuously restarting the handshake. (CVE-2011-4619)

Red Hat would like to thank Nicolae Mogoreanu for reporting CVE-2012-0029, and Simon McVittie for reporting CVE-2012-0207.

Updated kernel packages that fix various security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues :

* A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's XFS file system implementation handled links with overly long path names.
A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges by mounting a specially crafted disk. (CVE-2011-4077, Moderate)

* Flaws in ghash_update() and ghash_final() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-4081, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Journaling Block Device (JBD). A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system by mounting a specially crafted ext3 or ext4 disk.
(CVE-2011-4132, Moderate)

* It was found that the kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device() function in the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) subsystem of a Linux kernel did not check if the user requesting device assignment was privileged or not.
A local, unprivileged user on the host could assign unused PCI devices, or even devices that were in use and whose resources were not properly claimed by the respective drivers, which could result in the host crashing. (CVE-2011-4347, Moderate)

* Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's __sys_sendmsg() function, when invoked via the sendmmsg() system call, accessed user-space memory. A local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-4594, Moderate)

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-643:01 advisory.

    KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware.
    Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual     machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2011-4622     The create_pit_timer function in arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c in KVM 83, and possibly other versions, does not     properly handle when Programmable Interval Timer (PIT) interrupt requests (IRQs) when a virtual interrupt     controller (irqchip) is not available, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference) by starting a timer.
     CVE-2011-0029     Heap-based buffer overflow in the process_tx_desc function in the e1000 emulation (hw/e1000.c) in qemu-kvm     0.12, and possibly other versions, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (QEMU crash) and     possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted legacy mode packets.
     CVE-2011-4347     No information available at the time of writing, please refer to the CVE the links below.
    Fixed bugs:
     Previously, if the virtual CPU affinity was set, asynchronous I/O threads, created by threads of the     virtual CPU, inherited the affinity and could make a guest VM unresponsive, unable to reboot or shut down,     with the following message:
    INFO: task insmod:426 blocked for more than 120 seconds. echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs     disables this message.
    Asynchronous I/O threads are now created by the main thread and inherit the main thread affinity; VMs do     not become unstable anymore.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2009-4307     Nageswara R Sastry reported an issue in the ext4     filesystem. Local users with the privileges to mount a     filesystem can cause a denial of service (BUG) by     providing a s_log_groups_per_flex value greater than 31.

  - CVE-2011-1833     Vasiliy Kulikov of Openwall and Dan Rosenberg discovered     an information leak in the eCryptfs filesystem. Local     users were able to mount arbitrary directories.

  - CVE-2011-4347     Sasha Levin reported an issue in the device assignment     functionality in KVM. Local users with permission to     access /dev/kvm could assign unused pci devices to a     guest and cause a denial of service (crash).

  - CVE-2012-0045     Stephan Barwolf reported an issue in KVM. Local users in     a 32-bit guest running on a 64-bit system can crash the     guest with a syscall instruction.

  - CVE-2012-1090     CAI Qian reported an issue in the CIFS filesystem. A     reference count leak can occur during the lookup of     special files, resulting in a denial of service (oops)     on umount.

  - CVE-2012-1097     H. Peter Anvin reported an issue in the regset     infrastructure. Local users can cause a denial of     service (NULL pointer dereference) by triggering the     write methods of readonly regsets.
