RHEL 8 : virt:rhel and virt-devel:rhel (RHSA-2024:4351)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 201944

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for virt:rhel / virt-devel:rhel.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:4351 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:

 * virt:rhel/libvirt: stack use-after-free in virNetClientIOEventLoop (CVE-2024-4418)

 Bug fix:

 * virsh destroy with --graceful destroyed a paused guest (qemu process paused by SIGSTOP) (JIRA:RHEL-36064)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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-2024:4351.
