Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.58880
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0114
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2007:0114.

The Xen package contains the tools for managing the virtual machine monitor
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtualization.

A flaw was found affecting the VNC server code in QEMU. On a
fullyvirtualized guest VM, where qemu monitor mode is enabled, a user who
had access to the VNC server could gain the ability to read arbitrary files
as root in the host filesystem. (CVE-2007-0998)

In addition to disabling qemu monitor mode, the following bugs were also fixed:

* Fix IA64 fully virtualized (VTi) shadow page table mode initialization.

* Fix network bonding in balanced-rr mode. Without this update, a network
path loss could result in packet loss.

Users of Xen should update to these erratum packages containing backported
patches which correct these issues.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
