This package also includes the Red Hat EnterpriseVirtualization Manager API, a set of scriptable commands that giveadministrators the ability to perform queries and operations on Red HatEnterprise Virtualization Manager.The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides severalinterfaces through which the virtual environment can be accessed andinteracted with, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and aRepresentational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface(API).It was discovered that the HttpClient incorrectly extracted the host namefrom an X.509 certificate subject's Common Name (CN) field.A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL serverusing a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2012-6153, CVE-2014-3577)A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) flaw was found in the oVirt REST API.A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted web page that, whenvisited by a user with a valid REST API session, would allow the attackerto trigger calls to the oVirt REST API. (CVE-2014-0151)It was found that the oVirt web admin interface did not include theHttpOnly flag when setting session IDs with the Set-Cookie header.This flaw could make it is easier for a remote attacker to hijack an oVirtweb admin session by leveraging a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.(CVE-2014-0154)The CVE-2012-6153 issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red HatProduct Security.These updated Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager packages alsoinclude numerous bug fixes and various enhancements.
