Libvirt Security Notice: LSN-2014-0008 ====================================== Summary: deadlock on failed migration Reported on: 20141208 Published on: 20141208 Fixed on: 20141209 Reported by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com> Patched by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com> See also: CVE-2014-8136 Description ----------- When using fine-grained ACLs to restrict users from migrating domains, a logic bug could leave the domain locked and prevent further operation on that domain. Impact ------ A client that lacks the domain:migrate fine-grained ACL could use a failed migration attempt to trigger a denial of service against a more privileged user. Workaround ---------- The bug is mitigated by the fact that the "perform" and "finish" states of migration can generally be reached only after a successful "begin" or "prepare" state, both of which also require the same domain:migrate permission. Furthermore, the "prepare" state also requires the domain:write permission, and any user which has been granted that permission is already deemed to have full control over the system; even if domain:migrate permission is dynamically denied after migration has already started in order to trigger the flaw, an attack by such a user generally does not constitute a denial of service against a more privileged user. On the other hand, a malicious client that has access to the read-write socket via only a weaker privilege such as domain:read can send RPC commands out of order, to attempt a "perform" without going through the prerequisite states, and thereby trigger the bug in a manner that forms a denial of service. Read-only clients cannot trigger the problem, even via bad RPC commands. It is possible to avoid the bug by not using the fine-grained access control mechanism.

[Libvirt-announce] LSN-2014-0009: CVE-2014-8135 crash when using virStorageVolUpload

Libvirt Security Notice: LSN-2014-0009 ====================================== Summary: crash when using virStorageVolUpload Reported on: 20141202 Published on: 20141203 Fixed on: 20141203 Reported by: Pei Zhang <pzhang(a)redhat.com> Patched by: Luyao Huang <lhuang(a)redhat.com> See also: CVE-2014-8135 Description ----------- Incorrect parameter validation of the virStorageVolUpload command could cause libvirtd to attempt to dereference NULL. Impact ------ When using fine-grained ACLs, a user that is permitted to modify storage volumes but not create arbitrary domains can use bogus parameters to cause a denial of service attack against more privileged users. Workaround ---------- Passing valid parameters to virStorageVolUpload will not trigger a problem. It is also possible to prevent the denial of service by stopping the use of the fine grained access control mechanism, or by not granting users the storage_vol:data_write permission if they do not also have the domain:write permission; doing this will not prevent the crash for invalid parameters, but such a crash is no longer a security attack.

Libvirt Security Notice: LSN-2014-0008 ====================================== Summary: deadlock or segfault in virConnectGetAllDomainStats Reported on: 20141127 Published on: 20141205 Fixed on: 20141211 Reported by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan(a)redhat.com> Patched by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan(a)redhat.com>, Francesco Romani <fromani(a)redhat.com> See also: CVE-2014-8131 Description ----------- When using fine-grained ACLs to restrict users from accessing all domains, a logic bug in the qemu implementation of virConnectGetAllDomainStats could result in incorrect lock management of the next domain inspected after a domain that was skipped due to ACL restrictions. Impact ------ A restricted client can trigger a denial of service against a more privileged user when libvirtd goes into deadlock when trying to lock an incorrectly locked domain, or crashes when trying to unlock a domain that was not locked. Workaround ---------- Stop use of the fine grained access control mechanism, or stop trying to use access control to restrict the set of domains that an authorized client can see.

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.2.0
by Daniel P. Berrange 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.2.0, is now available from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) Changes in this release: - Support keyboard input device config - Annotate some unused parameters - Add support for new graphics attach API libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries: - libvirt-glib - Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling - libvirt-gconfig - Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects - libvirt-gobject - Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable forever, with libvirt-glib we are not currently guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are permanently API/ABI stable. That said we do not expect to break the API/ABI for the forseeable future and will always strive avoid it. Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list(a)redhat.com development list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for 1.2.11, rc1 available
by Daniel Veillard 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

As planned, I tagged 1.2.11-rc1 in git and made signed tarballs and rpms available at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ This seems to work fine in my limited testing, but please give it a serious try ! I understand Peter concerns w.r.t. the parallels patches, IMHO if this doesn't touch common code and is fine by the maintainers, then pushing in time for rc2 is reasonable even if we are past freeze. The plan is to put out an rc2 in a couple of days and get the final release this w.e. unless there is a serious issue blocking it. thanks in advance for testing and reports !
