[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.5
by Daniel Veillard 29 May '14

29 May '14

As planned I just tagged candidate release 1 in git and pushed the tarball, and signed rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I gave it a bit of testing, seems to work fine for me, I will probably provide an rc2 on Wed and aim for a release next week-end. In the meantime, please give it a try and report issues you may find ! thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[Libvirt-announce] LSN-2014-0003: Unsafe parsing of XML documents allows arbitrary file read
by Daniel P. Berrange 06 May '14

06 May '14

Libvirt Security Notice: LSN-2014-0003 ====================================== Summary: Unsafe parsing of XML documents allows arbitrary file read Reported on: 20140411 Published on: 20140506 Fixed on: 20140506 Reported by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange(a)redhat.com> Richard Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com> Patched by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange(a)redhat.com> See also: CVE-2014-0179 Description ----------- When parsing XML documents, libvirt passes the XML_PARSE_NOENT flag to libxml2 which instructs it to expand all entities in the XML document during parsing. This can be used to insert the contents of host OS files in the resulting parsed content. Although the flaw was introduced in 0.0.5, it was dormant having no ill effects, since the APIs involved all required the user to authenticate with privileges equivalent to root. In version 0.7.5 or later the virConnectCompareCPU / virConnectBaselineCPU methods activate the dormant bug, allowing for denial of service. In version 1.0.0 or later, if the admin opts in to using the new fine grained access control feature, there is potential for unprivileged information disclosure. Impact ------ A malicious user can pass libvirt an XML document which contains an entity that points to an arbitrary file on the host. When libvirt parses this document, it will insert the contents of that host file, which could allow the user to read the contents of files that they otherwise do not have permission to view. It also has the potential to cause a denial of service / indefinite hang of libvirt, if the entity points to a named pipe with no writer connected or certain proc files. If the libvirt installation is not using fine grained access control then virConnectCompareCPU and virConnectBaselineCPU APIs can be used by a read-only user to inflict a denial of service attack. If the libvirt installation is using fine grained access control, then as well as the denial of service attack, one or more of the following APIs can be used for information disclosure of files: virDomainDefineXML, virNetworkCreateXML, virNetworkDefineXML, virStoragePoolCreateXML, virStoragePoolDefineXML, virStorageVolCreateXML, virDomainCreateXML, virNodeDeviceCreateXML, virInterfaceDefineXML, virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom, virConnectDomainXMLFromNative, virConnectDomainXMLToNative, virSecretDefineXML, virNWFilterDefineXML, virDomainSnapshotCreateXML, virDomainSaveImageDefineXML, virDomainCreateXMLWithFiles, virConnectCompareCPU, virConnectBaselineCPU. Workaround ---------- Stop use of the fine grained access control mechanism, and restrict access to all the libvirt TCP/UNIX sockets to only trusted authenticated users. Simply denying access to the affected APIs in the access control policy is insufficient to mitigate the bug, since the XML document typically needs to be parsed before the access control check is applied in order to extra the UUID/name of the object to check. Access to the readonly libvirt socket must also be revoked Affected product ---------------- Name: libvirt Repository: git://libvirt.org/git/libvirt.git http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git Branch:

[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-1.2.4

03 May '14

As planned I tagged the release in git and pushed the tarball and signed rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also generated those for python too even if the only change is a spec file update, they are in the python subdir. This is a smaller than average release, with most of the changes on code refactoring, portability and bug fixes, so no big features here but general improvements: Documentation: - Device{Attach,Detach}: Document S4 limitations (Michal Privoznik) - Add a new example to illustrate domain migration (Sahid Orentino Ferdjaoui) - update docs for setting the QEMU BIOS path (Chen Hanxiao) - document nmdm type console (Roman Bogorodskiy) - Fix typos in src/* (Nehal J Wani) - document that vfio is default for hostdev networks too (Laine Stump) - cpu: Add documentation for CPU driver APIs (Jiri Denemark) - virsh: Fix comment of vshCmdInfo (Li Yang) Portability: - Explicitly link virfirewalltest and virsystemdtest against dbus (Guido Günther) - qemuxml2argvtest: Don't use privileged mode upfront (Guido Günther) - tests: skip virfirewalltest on non-Linux systems (Roman Bogorodskiy) - tests: don't fail with newer gnutls (Martin Kletzander) - fix build with older gcc (Ján Tomko) - storage: reject negative indices (Eric Blake) - networkxml2firewalltest: fix build failure on freebsd (Pavel Hrdina) - virfirewall: fix build on freebsd (Pavel Hrdina) - Disable libvirtd by default when building on Win32 (Daniel P.
