Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Virtualization Host security, bug fix and enhancement update (4.4.4-2)

Notes

Topic
An update for imgbased, redhat-release-virtualization-host and redhat-virtualization-host is now available for Red Hat Virtualization 4 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks. The ovirt-node-ng packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: redhat-release-virtualization-host (4.4.4), redhat-virtualization-host (4.4.4) Changes to the imgbased component: * Previously, the chronyd symlink was removed during the upgrade process. As a result, the chronyd service was disabled following the upgrade. In this release, the chronyd service is enabled after upgrade. (BZ#1903777) Security Fix(es): * lldp/openvswitch: denial of service via externally triggered memory leak (CVE-2020-27827) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
