Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Important: qemu-kvm security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2011:0919-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0919.html
Issue date: 2011-07-05
CVE Names: CVE-2011-2212 CVE-2011-2512
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Updated qemu-kvm packages that fix two security issues and one bug are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each
vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - x86_64

3. Description:

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. qemu-kvm is the user-space component
for running virtual machines using KVM.

It was found that the virtio subsystem in qemu-kvm did not properly
validate virtqueue in and out requests from the guest. A privileged guest
user could use this flaw to trigger a buffer overflow, allowing them to
crash the guest (denial of service) or, possibly, escalate their privileges
on the host. (CVE-2011-2212)

It was found that the virtio_queue_notify() function in qemu-kvm did not
perform sufficient input validation on the value later used as an index
into the array of virtqueues. An unprivileged guest user could use this
flaw to crash the guest (denial of service) or, possibly, escalate their
privileges on the host. (CVE-2011-2512)

Red Hat would like to thank Nelson Elhage for reporting CVE-2011-2212.

This update also fixes the following bug:

* A bug was found in the way vhost (in qemu-kvm) set up mappings with the
host kernel's vhost module. This could result in the host kernel's vhost
module not having a complete view of a guest system's memory, if that guest
had more than 4 GB of memory. Consequently, hot plugging a vhost-net
network device and restarting the guest may have resulted in that device no
longer working. (BZ#701771)

All users of qemu-kvm should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve these issues. After installing this
update, shut down all running virtual machines. Once all virtual machines
have shut down, start them again for this update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

3. Description:

cURL provides the libcurl library and a command line tool for downloading
files from servers using various protocols, including HTTP, FTP, and LDAP.

It was found that cURL always performed credential delegation when
authenticating with GSSAPI. A rogue server could use this flaw to obtain
the client's credentials and impersonate that client to other servers that
are using GSSAPI. (CVE-2011-2192)

Users of curl should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications using
libcurl must be restarted for the update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

[RHSA-2011:0920-01] Important: krb5-appl security update

=====================================================================
Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Important: krb5-appl security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2011:0920-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0920.html
Issue date: 2011-07-05
CVE Names: CVE-2011-1526
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Updated krb5-appl packages that fix one security issue are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

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:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

The krb5-appl packages provide Kerberos-aware telnet, ftp, rcp, rsh, and
rlogin clients and servers. While these have been replaced by tools such as
OpenSSH in most environments, they remain in use in others.

It was found that gssftp, a Kerberos-aware FTP server, did not properly
drop privileges. A remote FTP user could use this flaw to gain unauthorized
read or write access to files that are owned by the root group.
(CVE-2011-1526)

Red Hat would like to thank the MIT Kerberos project for reporting this
issue. Upstream acknowledges Tim Zingelman as the original reporter.

All krb5-appl users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
a backported patch to correct this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
