Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2011:0586
Summary:	Redhat Security Advisory RHSA-2011:0586
Description:	The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2011:0586. libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. libguestfs relied on the format auto-detection in QEMU rather than allowing the guest image file format to be specified. A privileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to read arbitrary files on the host that were accessible to a user on that host who was running a program that utilized the libguestfs library. (CVE-2010-3851) This erratum upgrades libguestfs to upstream version 1.7.17, which includes a number of bug fixes and one enhancement. Documentation for these bug fixes and this enhancement is provided in the Technical Notes document, linked to in the References section. All libguestfs users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue, and fix the bugs and add the enhancement noted in the Technical Notes. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0586.html http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.1_Technical_Notes/index.html#libguestfs Risk factor : Medium
