Descriptions

Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (aka RHEV-H or rhev-hypervisor) before 5.5-2.2 does not properly perform VM post-zeroing after the removal of a virtual machine's data, which allows guest OS users to obtain sensitive information by examining the disk blocks associated with a deleted virtual machine.

Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) en Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (conocido como RHEV-H or rhev-hypervisor) anterior v5.5-2.2 no actúa adecuadamente después del borrado de los datos de una máquina virtual, lo que permite a usuarios invitados obtener información sensible por examinación de bloques de discos asociados con una máquina virtual borrada.
