(RHSA-2014:0506) Moderate: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.4.0 update

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is a visual tool for centrally
managing collections of virtual servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux
and Microsoft Windows. This package also includes the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Manager API, a set of scriptable commands that give
administrators the ability to perform queries and operations on Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides several
interfaces through which the virtual environment can be accessed and
interacted with, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and a
Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface
(API).

It was found that the oVirt web admin interface did not generate a new
session ID after authenticating a user. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to perform session fixation attacks. (CVE-2014-0152)

It was found that the oVirt web admin interface stored session IDs in HTML5
local storage. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted web page
that, when visited by a user with a valid REST API session, would allow the
attacker to read the session ID from local storage. This is possible
because HTML5 local storage is not protected by the same-origin policy
(SOP). (CVE-2014-0153)

These updated Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager packages also
include numerous bug fixes and various enhancements. Space precludes
documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to
the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.4 Technical Notes, linked to in the
References, for information on the most significant of these changes.

All Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager users are advised to upgrade
to these updated packages, which resolve these issues and add these
enhancements.
