Synopsis

Moderate: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.2 update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Moderate

Topic

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.2 is now available.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is a visual tool for centrally
managing collections of virtual servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux
and Microsoft Windows. This package also includes the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Manager API, a set of scriptable commands that give
administrators the ability to perform queries and operations on Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

It was found that permission checks were not performed on the target
storage domain when cloning a virtual machine from a snapshot. An attacker
could use this flaw to perform a denial of service attack, exhausting free
disk space on the target storage domain. (CVE-2013-2144)

The CVE-2013-2144 issue was discovered by Daniel Erez of Red Hat.

This update also fixes various bugs. Refer to the Technical Notes for
information about these changes:

All Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager users are advised to upgrade
to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
