Synopsis: Moderate: libguestfs and virt-p2v security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:2576-2
Issue Date: 2016-11-03
CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-8869
--

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).

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.
