critical Nessus Plugin ID 159222

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for Red Hat Virtualization Host.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:1053 advisory.

The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks.

Security Fix(es):

* expat: Malformed 2- and 3-byte UTF-8 sequences can lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2022-25235)

* expat: Namespace-separator characters in xmlns[:prefix] attribute values can lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2022-25236)

* expat: Integer overflow in storeRawNames() (CVE-2022-25315)

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):

* Red Hat Virtualization Host was rebased on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5.0.3. (BZ#2048407)

* Rebase package(s) to version: libvirt-7.6.0-6.1.module+el8.5.0+14474+b3410d40 Highlights and important bug fixes: consume libvirt fix for failure to connect socket to '/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock' - possibly caused by too many open files from libvirtd. (BZ#2057048)

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 Red Hat Virtualization Host package based on the guidance in RHSA-2022:1053.
