RHEL 7 : libvirt (RHSA-2019:1264)

high Nessus Plugin ID 125381

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for libvirt.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2019:1264 advisory.

 The libvirt library contains a C API for managing and interacting with the virtualization capabilities of Linux and other operating systems. In addition, libvirt provides tools for remote management of virtualized systems.

 Security Fix(es):

 * libvirt: wrong permissions in systemd admin-sock due to missing SocketMode parameter (CVE-2019-10132)

 For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

 Bug Fix(es):

 * libvirt terminates and core-dumps with SIGABRT as a result of a invalid pointer error trying to free memory in virNWFilterBindingDefFree() (BZ#1702173)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL libvirt package based on the guidance in RHSA-2019:1264.
