RHSA-2021:1186 - Security Advisory

Topic

An update for org.ovirt.engine-root, ovirt-engine-ui-extensions, and ovirt-web-ui is now available for Red Hat Virtualization Engine 4.4.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Description

The ovirt-engine package provides the manager for virtualization environments.
This manager enables admins to define hosts and networks, as well as to add
storage, create VMs and manage user permissions.

Bug Fix(es):

• Previously, saving user preferences in the Red Hat Virtualization Manager required the MANIPULATE_USERS permission level. As a result, user preferences were not saved on the server.

In this release, the required permission level for saving user preferences was changed to EDIT_PROFILE, which is the permission level assigned by default to all users. As a result, saving user preferences works as expected. (BZ#1920539)
