    The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
    moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
    base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for
    each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
    
    The rhev-hypervisor6 package provides a Red Hat Enterprise
    Virtualization Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise
    Virtualization Hypervisor is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine
    (KVM) hypervisor. It includes everything necessary to run and manage
    virtual machines: A subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating
    environment and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agent.
    
    Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available
    for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization
    extensions.
    
    Upgrade Note: If you upgrade the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
    Hypervisor through the 3.2 Manager administration portal, the Host may
    appear with the status of 'Install Failed'. If this happens, place the
    host into maintenance mode, then activate it again to get the host
    back to an 'Up' state.
    
    It was discovered that NSS leaked timing information when decrypting
    TLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher
    suites were used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to
    retrieve plain text from the encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or
    DTLS server as a padding oracle. (CVE-2013-1620)
    
    It was found that the fix for CVE-2013-0167 released via
    RHSA-2013:0907 was incomplete. A privileged guest user could
    potentially use this flaw to make the host the guest is running on
    unavailable to the management server. (CVE-2013-4236)
    
    An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the way NSS decoded
    certain certificates. If an application using NSS decoded a malformed
    certificate, it could cause the application to crash. (CVE-2013-0791)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting
    CVE-2013-0791. Upstream acknowledges Ambroz Bizjak as the original
    reporter of CVE-2013-0791. The CVE-2013-4236 issue was found by David
    Gibson of Red Hat.
    
    This updated package provides updated components that include fixes
    for various security issues. These issues have no security impact on
    Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor itself, however. The
    security fixes included in this update address the following CVE
    numbers :
    
    CVE-2013-4854 (bind issue)
    
    CVE-2012-6544, CVE-2013-2146, CVE-2013-2206, CVE-2013-2224,
    CVE-2013-2232, and CVE-2013-2237 (kernel issues)
    
    This update also contains the fixes from the following errata :
    
    * vdsm: RHSA-2013:1155 and RHBA-2013:1158
    
    Users of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised
    to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues."

A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. VDSM is a management module that serves as a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager agent on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts. A flaw was found in the way unexpected fields in guestInfo dictionaries were processed. A privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to make the host the guest is running on unavailable to the management server. (CVE-2013-0167) The CVE-2013-0167 issue was discovered by Dan Kenigsberg of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization team. This update also fixes various bugs. Refer to the Technical Notes for information about these changes : https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/ Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.2/html/Technical_Notes/ chap-RHSA-2013-0886.html All users managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization hosts using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager are advised to install these updated packages, which fix these issues. These updated packages will be provided to users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor in the next rhev-hypervisor6 errata package.
