An update for rhvm-setup-plugins is now available for Red Hat Virtualization 4.2.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The rhvm-setup-plugins package adds functionality exclusive only to Red Hat Virtualization Manager, and is not available for the upstream ovirt-engine. It includes the configuration of the Red Hat Support plugin, copying downstream-only artifacts to the ISO domain, and links to the knowledgebase and other support material.

Security Fix(es) :

* A flaw was found in the implementation of the 'fill buffer', a mechanism used by modern CPUs when a cache-miss is made on L1 CPU cache. If an attacker can generate a load operation that would create a page fault, the execution will continue speculatively with incorrect data from the fill buffer while the data is fetched from higher level caches. This response time can be measured to infer data in the fill buffer. (CVE-2018-12130)

* Modern Intel microprocessors implement hardware-level micro-optimizations to improve the performance of writing data back to CPU caches. The write operation is split into STA (STore Address) and STD (STore Data) sub-operations. These sub-operations allow the processor to hand-off address generation logic into these sub-operations for optimized writes. Both of these sub-operations write to a shared distributed processor structure called the 'processor store buffer'. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read private data resident within the CPU's processor store buffer. (CVE-2018-12126)

* Microprocessors use a 'load port' subcomponent to perform load operations from memory or IO. During a load operation, the load port receives data from the memory or IO subsystem and then provides the data to the CPU registers and operations in the CPU's pipelines.
Stale load operations results are stored in the 'load port' table until overwritten by newer operations. Certain load-port operations triggered by an attacker can be used to reveal data about previous stale requests leaking data back to the attacker via a timing side-channel. (CVE-2018-12127)

* Uncacheable memory on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.

This update for xen fixes the following issues :

Four new speculative execution information leak issues have been identified in Intel CPUs. (bsc#1111331)

  - CVE-2018-12126: Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data     Sampling (MSBDS)

  - CVE-2018-12127: Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data     Sampling (MFBDS)

  - CVE-2018-12130: Microarchitectural Load Port Data     Samling (MLPDS)

  - CVE-2019-11091: Microarchitectural Data Sampling     Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM)

These updates contain the XEN Hypervisor adjustments, that additionaly also use CPU Microcode updates.

The mitigation can be controlled via the 'mds' commandline option, see the documentation.

Other fixes :

  - Added code to change LIBXL_HOTPLUG_TIMEOUT at runtime.

    The included README has details about the impact of this     change (bsc#1120095)

  - Fixes in Live migrating PV domUs

    An earlier change broke live migration of PV domUs     without a device model. The migration would stall for 10     seconds while the domU was paused, which caused network     connections to drop. Fix this by tracking the need for a     device model within libxl. (bsc#1079730, bsc#1098403,     bsc#1111025)

  - Libvirt segfault when crash triggered on top of HVM     guest (bsc#1120067)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed: CVE-2018-1128: It was found that cephx authentication protocol did not verify ceph clients correctly and was vulnerable to replay attack. Any attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to sniff packets on network could use this vulnerability to authenticate with ceph service and perform actions allowed by ceph service. (bnc#1096748).

CVE-2018-1129: A flaw was found in the way signature calculation was handled by cephx authentication protocol. An attacker having access to ceph cluster network who is able to alter the message payload was able to bypass signature checks done by cephx protocol. (bnc#1096748).

CVE-2016-8636: Integer overflow in the mem_check_range function in drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_mr.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption), obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact via a write or read request involving the 'RDMA protocol over infiniband' (aka Soft RoCE) technology (bnc#1024908).

CVE-2017-18174: In the amd_gpio_remove function in drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-amd.c calls the pinctrl_unregister function, leading to a double free (bnc#1080533).

CVE-2018-1091: In the flush_tmregs_to_thread function in arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c, a guest kernel crash can be triggered from unprivileged userspace during a core dump on a POWER host due to a missing processor feature check and an erroneous use of transactional memory (TM) instructions in the core dump path, leading to a denial of service (bnc#1087231).

CVE-2018-1120: By mmap()ing a FUSE-backed file onto a process's memory containing command line arguments (or environment strings), an attacker can cause utilities from psutils or procps (such as ps, w) or any other program which made a read() call to the /proc/<pid>/cmdline (or /proc/<pid>/environ) files to block indefinitely (denial of service) or for some controlled time (as a synchronization primitive for other attacks) (bnc#1093158). </pid></pid>

CVE-2019-11486: The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in drivers/tty/n_r3964.c has multiple race conditions (bnc#1133188).

CVE-2019-3882: A flaw was found in the vfio interface implementation that permits violation of the user's locked memory limit. If a device is bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is administratively granted ownership of the device, it may cause a system memory exhaustion and thus a denial of service (DoS) (bsc#1131427).

CVE-2018-19407: The vcpu_scan_ioapic function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) via crafted system calls that reach a situation where ioapic is uninitialized (bnc#1116841).

CVE-2017-17741: The KVM implementation allowed attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory, aka a write_mmio stack-based out-of-bounds read, related to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c and include/trace/events/kvm.h (bnc#1073311).
