RHEL 8 : virt:rhel (RHSA-2020:1358)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 139382

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for virt:rhel.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1358 advisory.

 Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offers a full virtualization solution for Linux on numerous hardware platforms. The virt:rhel module contains packages which provide user-space components used to run virtual machines using KVM. The packages also provide APIs for managing and interacting with the virtualized systems.

 Security Fix(es):

 * QEMU: block: iscsi: OOB heap access via an unexpected response of iSCSI Server (CVE-2020-1711)

 * QEMU: slirp: OOB buffer access while emulating tcp protocols in tcp_emu() (CVE-2020-7039)

 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):

 * libvirtd: error : virCPUx86UpdateLive:3110 : operation failed: guest CPU doesn't match specification:
 missing features: fxsr_opt (BZ#1809510)

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

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

Solution

Update the RHEL virt:rhel package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:1358.
