Synopsis:          Moderate: libguestfs security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2013:1536-2
Issue Date:        2013-11-21
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-4419
--

It was found that guestfish, which enables shell scripting and command
line access to libguestfs, insecurely created the temporary directory used
to store the network socket when started in server mode. A local attacker
could use this flaw to intercept and modify other user's guestfish
command, allowing them to perform arbitrary guestfish actions with the
privileges of a different user, or use this flaw to obtain authentication
credentials. (CVE-2013-4419)
