1. Summary:

An update for libguestfs and virt-p2v is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

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.
