RHEL 8 : virt:rhel and virt-devel:rhel (RHSA-2024:2962)
high Nessus Plugin ID 197771
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for virt:rhel / virt-devel:rhel.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2962 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: VNC: infinite loop in inflate_buffer() leads to denial of service (CVE-2023-3255)
* QEMU: improper IDE controller reset can lead to MBR overwrite (CVE-2023-5088)
* QEMU: VNC: NULL pointer dereference in qemu_clipboard_request() (CVE-2023-6683)
* QEMU: virtio-net: stack buffer overflow in virtio_net_flush_tx() (CVE-2023-6693)
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.
Additional Changes:
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 Release Notes linked from the References section.
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 / virt-devel:rhel packages based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:2962.See Also
