Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0243)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0243 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0243 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated libvirt packages fix security vulnerabilities: The LXC driver (lxc/lxc_driver.c) in libvirt 1.0.1 through 1.2.1 allows local users to (1) delete arbitrary host devices via the virDomainDeviceDettach API and a symlink attack on /dev in the container, (2) create arbitrary nodes (mknod) via the virDomainDeviceAttach API and a symlink attack on /dev in the container, and cause a denial of service (shutdown or reboot host OS) via the (3) virDomainShutdown or (4) virDomainReboot API and a symlink attack on /dev/initctl in the container, related to paths under /proc//root and the virInitctlSetRunLevel function (CVE-2013-6456). libvirt was patched to prevent expansion of entities when parsing XML files. This vulnerability allowed malicious users to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service (CVE-2014-0179). Affected Software/OS: 'libvirt' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.8 CVSS Vector: AV:A/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:C
