Advisory ID:       RHSA-2012:1505-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1505.html

=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An updated rhev-hypervisor6 package that fixes one security issue, various
bugs, and adds enhancements is now available.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the
CVE link in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

RHEV Hypervisor for RHEL-6 - noarch

3. Description:

The rhev-hypervisor6 package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor
is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes
everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A subset of the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Agent.

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for
the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

A flaw was found in the way Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor
hosts were added to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment. The
Python scripts needed to configure the host for Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization were downloaded in an insecure way, that is, without
properly validating SSL certificates during HTTPS connections. An attacker
on the local network could use this flaw to conduct a man-in-the-middle
attack, potentially gaining root access to the host being added to the Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment. This update provides the VDSM
part of the fix. The RHSA-2012:1506 Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Manager update must also be installed to completely fix this issue.
(CVE-2012-0861)

The CVE-2012-0861 issue was discovered by Red Hat.
