The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2806 advisory.

  - glusterfs is vulnerable to privilege escalation on gluster server nodes. An authenticated gluster client     via TLS could use gluster cli with --remote-host command to add it self to trusted storage pool and     perform privileged gluster operations like adding other machines to trusted storage pool, start, stop, and     delete volumes. (CVE-2018-10841)

  - A privilege escalation flaw was found in gluster 3.x snapshot scheduler. Any gluster client allowed to     mount gluster volumes could also mount shared gluster storage volume and escalate privileges by scheduling     malicious cronjob via symlink. (CVE-2018-1088)

  - It was found that glusterfs server does not properly sanitize file paths in the trusted.io-stats-dump     extended attribute which is used by the debug/io-stats translator. Attacker can use this flaw to create     files and execute arbitrary code. To exploit this attacker would require sufficient access to modify the     extended attributes of files on a gluster volume. (CVE-2018-10904)

  - It was found that glusterfs server is vulnerable to multiple stack based buffer overflows due to functions     in server-rpc-fopc.c allocating fixed size buffers using 'alloca(3)'. An authenticated attacker could     exploit this by mounting a gluster volume and sending a string longer that the fixed buffer size to cause     crash or potential code execution. (CVE-2018-10907)

  - A flaw was found in the way dic_unserialize function of glusterfs does not handle negative key length     values. An attacker could use this flaw to read memory from other locations into the stored dict value.
    (CVE-2018-10911)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability was discovered in glusterfs server. An attacker could issue a     xattr request via glusterfs FUSE to determine the existence of any file. (CVE-2018-10913)

  - It was found that an attacker could issue a xattr request via glusterfs FUSE to cause gluster brick     process to crash which will result in a remote denial of service. If gluster multiplexing is enabled this     will result in a crash of multiple bricks and gluster volumes. (CVE-2018-10914)

  - It was found that the mknod call derived from mknod(2) can create files pointing to devices on a     glusterfs server node. An authenticated attacker could use this to create an arbitrary device and read     data from any device attached to the glusterfs server node. (CVE-2018-10923)

  - A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3_mknod_req supported by glusterfs server. An authenticated     attacker could use this flaw to write files to an arbitrary location via path traversal and execute     arbitrary code on a glusterfs server node. (CVE-2018-10926)

  - A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3_lookup_req in glusterfs server. An authenticated attacker could     use this flaw to leak information and execute remote denial of service by crashing gluster brick process.
    (CVE-2018-10927)

  - A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3_symlink_req in glusterfs server which allows symlink     destinations to point to file paths outside of the gluster volume. An authenticated attacker could use     this flaw to create arbitrary symlinks pointing anywhere on the server and execute arbitrary code on     glusterfs server nodes. (CVE-2018-10928)

  - A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs2_create_req in glusterfs server. An authenticated attacker could     use this flaw to create arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code on glusterfs server nodes.
    (CVE-2018-10929)

  - A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3_rename_req in glusterfs server. An authenticated attacker could     use this flaw to write to a destination outside the gluster volume. (CVE-2018-10930)

  - The Gluster file system through versions 3.12 and 4.1.4 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the     'features/index' translator via the code handling the 'GF_XATTR_CLRLK_CMD' xattr in the 'pl_getxattr'     function. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this on a mounted volume to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2018-14652)

  - The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.12 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow in     the '__server_getspec' function via the 'gf_getspec_req' RPC message. A remote authenticated attacker     could exploit this to cause a denial of service or other potential unspecified impact. (CVE-2018-14653)

  - The Gluster file system through version 4.1.4 is vulnerable to abuse of the 'features/index' translator. A     remote attacker with access to mount volumes could exploit this via the 'GF_XATTROP_ENTRY_IN_KEY' xattrop     to create arbitrary, empty files on the target server. (CVE-2018-14654)

  - The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.1.2 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack via     use of the 'GF_XATTR_IOSTATS_DUMP_KEY' xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this by     mounting a Gluster volume and repeatedly calling 'setxattr(2)' to trigger a state dump and create an     arbitrary number of files in the server's runtime directory. (CVE-2018-14659)

  - A flaw was found in glusterfs server through versions 4.1.4 and 3.1.2 which allowed repeated usage of     GF_META_LOCK_KEY xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to create multiple locks for     single inode by using setxattr repetitively resulting in memory exhaustion of glusterfs server node.
    (CVE-2018-14660)

  - It was found that usage of snprintf function in feature/locks translator of glusterfs server 3.8.4, as     shipped with Red Hat Gluster Storage, was vulnerable to a format string attack. A remote, authenticated     attacker could use this flaw to cause remote denial of service. (CVE-2018-14661)

    Red Hat would like to thank Michael Hanselmann (hansmi.ch) for reporting CVE-2018-10904, CVE-2018-10907,     CVE-2018-10923, CVE-2018-10926, CVE-2018-10927, CVE-2018-10928, CVE-2018-10929, CVE-2018-10930,     CVE-2018-10911, CVE-2018-10914, CVE-2018-14652, CVE-2018-14653, CVE-2018-14654, CVE-2018-14659,     CVE-2018-14660, CVE-2018-14661, and CVE-2018-10913. The CVE-2018-10873 issue was discovered by Frediano     Ziglio (Red Hat).

    Bug Fix(es):

    * When upgrading Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH), imgbased fails to run garbage collection on previous     layers, so new logical volumes are removed, and the boot entry points to a logical volume that was     removed.

    If the RHVH upgrade finishes successfully, the hypervisor boots successfully, even if garbage collection     fails. (BZ#1632058)

    * During the upgrade process, when lvremove runs garbage collection, it prompts for user confirmation,     causing the upgrade process to fail. Now the process uses lvremove --force when trying to remove logical     volumes and does not fail even if garbage collection fails, and as a result, the upgrade process finishes     successfully. (BZ#1632585)

This update provides the following bug fix(es) :

* MD5 instances are replaced with FIPS compliant SHA256 checksums and glusterd no longer crashes when run on a FIPS enabled machine.
(BZ#1459709)

* The flock is unlocked specifically and the status file is updated so that the reference is not leaked to any worker or agent process. As a result of this fix, all workers come up without fail. (BZ#1623749)

* All HTIME index files are checked for the specified start and end times, and the History API does not fail when multiple HTIME files exist. (BZ#1627639)

* After upgrading to Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.4 from earlier versions of Red Hat Gluster Storage, the volume size displayed by the df command was smaller than the actual volume size. This has been fixed and the df command now shows the correct size for all volumes.
(BZ#1630997)

* The algorithm to disable the eager-lock is modified and it disables only when multiple write operations are trying to modify a file at the same time. This led to performance improvement while a write operation is performed on a file irrespective of the number of times it is opened at the same time for a read operation. (BZ#1630688)

* heal-info does not consider the presence of dirty markers as an indication of split-brain and does not display these entries to be in a split-brain state. (BZ#1610743)

All users of Red Hat Gluster Storage are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which provide numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
