"An update for rhevm-setup-plugins is now available for RHEV Manager
version 3.6.

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 rhevm-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.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
rhevm-setup-plugins (3.6.7). (BZ#1579010)

Security Fix(es) :

* An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern
microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load
& Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). It
relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in
the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read from address
to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and
subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even
for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit
(retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to
read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel
attacks. (CVE-2018-3639)

Note: This is the rhevm-setup-plugins side of the CVE-2018-3639
mitigation.

Red Hat would like to thank Ken Johnson (Microsoft Security Response
Center) and Jann Horn (Google Project Zero) for reporting this issue."
