Detail
| Problem Description: An updated virtio-win package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Supplementary. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important 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. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary (v. 6) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 6) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Supplementary (v. 6) - noarch 3. Description: The virtio-win package provides paravirtualized network drivers for most Microsoft Windows operating systems. Paravirtualized drivers are virtualization-aware drivers used by fully virtualized guests running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. An unquoted search path flaw was found in the way the QEMU Guest Agent service installation was performed on Windows. Depending on the permissions of the directories in the unquoted search path, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to have a binary of their choosing executed with SYSTEM privileges. (CVE-2013-2231) This issue was discovered by Lev Veyde of Red Hat. Users of virtio-win are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 980757 - CVE-2013-2231 qemu: qemu-ga win32 service unquoted search path |
