Summary: An updated Xen package to fix one security issue and two bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Multi OS (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, x86_64 RHEL Virtualization (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: The Xen package contains the tools for managing the virtual machine monitor in Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtualization. A flaw was found affecting the VNC server code in QEMU. On a fullyvirtualized guest VM, where qemu monitor mode is enabled, a user who had access to the VNC server could gain the ability to read arbitrary files as root in the host filesystem. (CVE-2007-0998) In addition to disabling qemu monitor mode, the following bugs were also fixed: * Fix IA64 fully virtualized (VTi) shadow page table mode initialization. * Fix network bonding in balanced-rr mode. Without this update, a network path loss could result in packet loss. Users of Xen should update to these erratum packages containing backported patches which correct these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 230295 - CVE-2007-0998 HVM guest VNC server allows compromise of entire host OS by any VNC console user 6.
