Synopsis: Low: libguestfs security, bug fix, and enhancement update Issue date: 2011-05-19 CVE Names: CVE-2010-3851 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. All libguestfs users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue, and fix the bugs and add the enhancement.
