Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2012:1202
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2012:1202. The libvirt library is a C API for managing and interacting with the virtualization capabilities of Linux and other operating systems. In addition, libvirt provides tools for remote management of virtualized systems. A flaw was found in libvirtd's RPC call handling. An attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could trigger this flaw with a specially-crafted RPC command that has the number of parameters set to 0, causing libvirtd to access invalid memory and crash. (CVE-2012-3445) All users of libvirt are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the updated packages, libvirtd will be restarted automatically. 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 http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1202.html Risk factor : Medium
