3. Description:
The libguestfs packages contain a library, which is used for accessing and
modifying virtual machine (VM) disk images.
Virt-p2v is a tool for conversion of a physical server to a virtual guest.
The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
libguestfs (1.32.7), virt-p2v (1.32.7). (BZ#1218766)
Security Fix(es):
* An integer conversion flaw was found in the way OCaml's String handled
its length. Certain operations on an excessively long String could trigger
a buffer overflow or result in an information leak. (CVE-2015-8869)
Note: The libguestfs packages in this advisory were rebuilt with a fixed
version of OCaml to address this issue.
Additional Changes:
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section.
4. Solution:
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:
