Detail
| Problem Description: An updated Xen package to fix multiple security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Multi OS (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, x86_64 RHEL Virtualization (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: The Xen package contains the tools for managing the virtual machine monitor in Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtualization. The following security flaws are fixed in the updated Xen package: Joris van Rantwijk found a flaw in the Pygrub utility which is used as a boot loader for guest domains. A malicious local administrator of a guest domain could create a carefully crafted grub.conf file which would trigger the execution of arbitrary code outside of that domain. (CVE-2007-4993) Tavis Ormandy discovered a heap overflow flaw during video-to-video copy operations in the Cirrus VGA extension code used in Xen. A malicious local administrator of a guest domain could potentially trigger this flaw and execute arbitrary code outside of the domain. (CVE-2007-1320) Tavis Ormandy discovered insufficient input validation leading to a heap overflow in the Xen NE2000 network driver. If the driver is in use, a malicious local administrator of a guest domain could potentially trigger this flaw and execute arbitrary code outside of the domain. Xen does not use this driver by default. (CVE-2007-1321) Users of Xen should update to these erratum packages containing backported patches which correct these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 237342 - CVE-2007-1320 xen Cirrus LGD-54XX "bitblt" Heap Overflow 237343 - CVE-2007-1321 xen QEMU NE2000 emulation issues 302801 - CVE-2007-4993 xen guest root can escape to domain 0 through pygrub |
