NONE Summary
virt-edit in libguestfs before 1.18.0 does not preserve the permissions from the original file and saves the new file with world-readable permissions when editing, which might allow local guest users to obtain sensitive information.

NASL family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks NASL id SL_20120620_LIBGUESTFS_ON_SL6_X.NASL description libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. It was found that editing files with virt-edit left said files in a world-readable state (and did not preserve the file owner or Security-Enhanced Linux context). If an administrator on the host used virt-edit to edit a file inside a guest, the file would be left with world-readable permissions. This could lead to unprivileged guest users accessing files they would otherwise be unable to. (CVE-2012-2690) These updated libguestfs packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Users of libguestfs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these issues and add these enhancements. last seen 2020-03-18 modified 2012-08-01 plugin id 61339 published 2012-08-01 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/61339 title Scientific Linux Security Update : libguestfs on SL6.x x86_64 (20120620) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text is (C) Scientific Linux. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(61339); script_version("1.3"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_modification_date", value:"2020/02/27"); script_cve_id("CVE-2012-2690"); script_name(english:"Scientific Linux Security Update : libguestfs on SL6.x x86_64 (20120620)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low 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. libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. It was found that editing files with virt-edit left said files in a world-readable state (and did not preserve the file owner or Security-Enhanced Linux context). If an administrator on the host used virt-edit to edit a file inside a guest, the file would be left with world-readable permissions. This could lead to unprivileged guest users accessing files they would otherwise be unable to. (CVE-2012-2690) These updated libguestfs packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 Technical Notes for information on the most significant of these changes. Users of libguestfs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these issues and add these enhancements. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 59919 published 2012-07-11 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/59919 title CentOS 6 : libguestfs (CESA-2012:0774)
