ALSA-2020:4676 — Moderate: virt:rhel and virt-devel:rhel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

2026-10-04T05:38:32.914181+00:00

Affected: AlmaLinux:8: hivex, AlmaLinux:8: hivex-devel, AlmaLinux:8: libguestfs-winsupport, AlmaLinux:8: libiscsi, AlmaLinux:8: libiscsi-devel, AlmaLinux:8: libiscsi-utils, AlmaLinux:8: libnbd, AlmaLinux:8: libnbd-devel, AlmaLinux:8: libvirt, AlmaLinux:8: libvirt-admin and 61 more

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offers a full virtualization solution for Linux on numerous hardware platforms. The virt:rhel module contains packages which provide user-space components used to run virtual machines using KVM. The packages also provide APIs for managing and interacting with the virtualized systems.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: hivex (1.3.18), libguestfs (1.40.2), libguestfs-winsupport (8.2), libvirt (6.0.0), libvirt-dbus (1.3.0), libvirt-python (6.0.0), nbdkit (1.16.2), perl-Sys-Virt (6.0.0), qemu-kvm (4.2.0), seabios (1.13.0), SLOF (20191022). (BZ#1810193, BZ#1844296)

Security Fix(es):

* libvirt: leak of /dev/mapper/control into QEMU guests (CVE-2020-14339)

* QEMU: Slirp: use-after-free during packet reassembly (CVE-2019-15890)

* libvirt: Potential DoS by holding a monitor job while querying QEMU guest-agent (CVE-2019-20485)

* QEMU: slirp: use-after-free in ip_reass() function in ip_input.c (CVE-2020-1983)

* libvirt: Potential denial of service via active pool without target path (CVE-2020-10703)

* libvirt: leak of sensitive cookie information via dumpxml (CVE-2020-14301)

An information disclosure vulnerability was found in libvirt in versions before 6.3.0. HTTP cookies used to access network-based disks were saved in the XML dump of the guest domain. This flaw allows an attacker to access potentially sensitive information in the domain configuration via the `dumpxml` command.
