RedHat: RHSA-2019-1116:01 Important: redhat-virtualization-host security
Summary
OVMF (Open Virtual Machine Firmware) is an EDK II (edk2) based project to
enable UEFI support for Virtual Machines. The ovmf package contains a
sample 64-bit UEFI firmware for QEMU and KVM, including the edk2 package.
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.
Security Fix(es):
* edk2: Buffer Overflow in BlockIo service for RAM disk (CVE-2018-12180)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS

page(s) listed in the References section.
Bug Fix(es):
* Previously, after upgrading Red Hat Virtualization Host from
rhvh-4.1-0.20180425.0 to rhvh-4.2.4.3-0.20180627, the owner and group of
sshd.conf were incorrectly changed from root:root to sssd:sssd. As a
result, RHEL IdM accounts using sssd could not ssh into the host. The
current release fixes this issue. (BZ#1608513)
