Descriptions

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) Manager before 3.5.1 uses weak permissions on the directories shared by the ovirt-engine-dwhd service and a plugin during service startup, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading files in the directory.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) Manager anterior a 3.5.1 utiliza permisos débiles en los directorios compartidos por el servicio ovirt-engine-dwhd y un plugin durante el inicio del servicio, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible mediante la lectura de ficheros en el directorio.

It was discovered that a directory shared between the ovirt-engine-dwhd service and a plug-in used during the service's startup had incorrect permissions. A local user could use this flaw to access files in this directory, which could potentially contain sensitive information.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.5.1 is now available. It was discovered that the permissions to allow or deny snapshot creation were ignored during live storage migration of a VM's disk between storage domains. An attacker able to live migrate a disk between storage domains could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that a directory shared between the ovirt-engine-dwhd service and a plug-in used during the service's startup had incorrect permissions. A local user could use this flaw to access files in this directory, which could potentially contain sensitive information.
