3. Description:

The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization
Host. 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 (4.3.5), redhat-virtualization-host
(4.3.5). (BZ#1751436, BZ#1754063)

Security Fix(es):

* A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost
functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer
descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass
descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway,
could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host.
