RedHat: RHSA-2018-2321:01 Moderate: Red Hat Virtualization security, bug fix,
Summary
The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization
Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host,
ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are
installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the
packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user
interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative
tasks.
The ovirt-node-ng packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These
packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and
rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a
special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required
to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for
monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks.
The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
imgbased (1.0.22), redhat-release-virtualization-host (4.2),
redhat-virtualization-host (4.2). (BZ#1596545, BZ#1607722, BZ#1607723)
Security Fix(es):
* ansible: Inventory variables are loaded from current working directory
when running ad-hoc command that can lead to code execution
(CVE-2018-10874)
* ansible: ansible.cfg is being read from current working directory
allowing possible code execution (CVE-2018-10875)
