ovirt-engine-webadmin, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (aka RHEV-M) for Servers and RHEV-M 4.0, allows physically proximate attackers to bypass a webadmin session timeout restriction via vectors related to UI selections, which trigger repeating queries.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - ovirt-engine: webadmin log out must logout all sessions (CVE-2016-6338)

  - ovirt-engine: API exposes power management credentials to administrators (CVE-2018-1074)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ovirt-engine allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web     script or HTML. (CVE-2016-3113)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

An update for org.ovirt.engine-root is now available for Red Hat Virtualization Manager version 4.1.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Low. 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.

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is a centralized management platform that allows system administrators to view and manage virtual machines. The Manager provides a comprehensive range of features including search capabilities, resource management, live migrations, and virtual infrastructure provisioning.

The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides several interfaces through which the virtual environment can be accessed and interacted with, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and a Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
org.ovirt.engine-root (4.1.8.2). (BZ#1483576)

Security Fix(es) :

* It was discovered that the ovirt-engine webadmin session would not properly enforce timeouts. Browser sessions would remain logged in beyond the administratively configured session timeout period.
(CVE-2016-6338)

This issue was discovered by Greg Sheremeta (Red Hat).

Bug Fix(es) :

* You can now set the Initialization of a virtual machine to an empty value through the REST API. (BZ#1513684)

Enhancement(s) :

* There are several cluster and host settings which require reinstallation of the host if changed. The requirement to reinstall was always mentioned in documentation and a WARNING event was raised.
With this release, the Administration Portal now also shows an exclamation mark icon for each host that needs to be reinstalled. When an exclamation mark icon is shown, you can find the details about it in the Action Items section of the host's details view. (BZ#1501793)
