EulerOS Virtualization 2.9.1 : libvirt (EulerOS-SA-2021-1631)

high Nessus Plugin ID 147481

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the libvirt packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A double free memory issue was found to occur in the libvirt API, in versions before 6.8.0, responsible for requesting information about network interfaces of a running QEMU domain. This flaw affects the polkit access control driver. Specifically, clients connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL permissions could use this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a denial of service, or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.(CVE-2020-25637)

- A flaw was found in libvirt, where it leaked a file descriptor for `/dev/mapper/control` into the QEMU process. This file descriptor allows for privileged operations to happen against the device-mapper on the host. This flaw allows a malicious guest user or process to perform operations outside of their standard permissions, potentially causing serious damage to the host operating system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.(CVE-2020-14339)

- An issue was discovered in qemuDomainGetStatsIOThread in qemu/qemu_driver.c in libvirt 4.10.0 though 6.x before 6.1.0. A memory leak was found in the virDomainListGetStats libvirt API that is responsible for retrieving domain statistics when managing QEMU guests. This flaw allows unprivileged users with a read-only connection to cause a memory leak in the domstats command, resulting in a potential denial of service.(CVE-2020-12430)

- An information disclosure vulnerability was found in libvirt. HTTP cookies used to access network-based disks were saved in the XML dump of the guest domain.
This flaw allows an attacker to access potentially sensitive information in the domain configuration via the `dumpxml` command.(CVE-2020-14301)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libvirt packages.
