Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59498
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 5 FEDORA-2007-344 (xen)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xen
announced via advisory FEDORA-2007-344.

This package contains the Xen hypervisor and Xen tools, needed to
run virtual machines on x86 systems, together with the kernel-xen*
packages. Information on how to use Xen can be found at the Xen
project pages.

Virtualisation can be used to run multiple versions or multiple
Linux distributions on one system, or to test untrusted applications
in a sandboxed environment.

Update Information:

A flaw was found affecting the VNC server code in QEMU. On a
fullyvirtualized guest VM, where qemu monitor mode is
enabled, a user who had access to the VNC server could gain
the ability to read arbitrary files as root in the host
filesystem. (CVE-2007-0998)

Solution: Apply the appropriate updates.

This update can be downloaded from:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/

This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program. Use 'yum update
package-name' at the command line. For more information, refer to 'Managing
Software with yum,' available at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/.
