The org.ovirt.engine-root is a core component of oVirt.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: engine-db-query (1.6.2), org.ovirt.engine-root (4.4.3.8), ovirt-engine-dwh (4.4.3.1), ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap (1.4.2), ovirt-engine-extension-logger-log4j (1.1.1), ovirt-engine-metrics (1.4.2.1), ovirt-engine-ui-extensions (1.2.4), ovirt-log-collector (4.4.4), ovirt-web-ui (1.6.5), rhv-log-collector-analyzer (1.0.5), rhvm- branding-rhv (4.4.6). (BZ#1866981, BZ#1879377)

Security Fix(es):

* nodejs-handlebars: lookup helper fails to properly validate templates allowing for arbitrary JavaScript execution (CVE-2019-20920)

* nodejs-handlebars: an endless loop while processing specially-crafted templates leads to DoS (CVE-2019-20922)

* nodejs-lodash: prototype pollution in zipObjectDeep function (CVE-2020-8203)
