Synopsis:          Moderate: libvirt security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2016:2577-2
Issue Date:        2016-11-03
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2015-5160
                   CVE-2015-5313
                   CVE-2016-5008
--

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
libvirt (2.0.0).

Security Fix(es):

* It was found that the libvirt daemon, when using RBD (RADOS Block
Device), leaked private credentials to the process list. A local attacker
could use this flaw to perform certain privileged operations within the
cluster. (CVE-2015-5160)

* A path-traversal flaw was found in the way the libvirt daemon handled
filesystem names for storage volumes. A libvirt user with privileges to
create storage volumes and without privileges to create and modify domains
could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2015-5313)

* It was found that setting a VNC password to an empty string in libvirt
did not disable all access to the VNC server as documented, instead it
allowed access with no authentication required. An attacker could use this
flaw to access a VNC server with an empty VNC password without any
authentication. (CVE-2016-5008)
