Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-541-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the DLA-541-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the DLA-541-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that there was a password policy issue in libvirt, a library for interfacing with different virtualization systems. Setting an empty graphics password is documented as a way to disable VNC/SPICE access, but QEMU does not always behave like that. VNC would happily accept the empty password. We enforce the behavior by setting password expiration to now. For Debian 7 Wheezy, this issue has been fixed in libvirt version 0.9.12.3-1+deb7u2. We recommend that you upgrade your libvirt packages. Affected Software/OS: 'libvirt' package(s) on Debian 7. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
