1. Summary:

An updated rhev-hypervisor package that fixes one security issue and
several bugs is now available.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

RHEV Hypervisor for RHEL-5 - noarch

3. Description:

The rhev-hypervisor package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor.
It includes everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A
subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agent.

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for
the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

A flaw was found that allowed napi_reuse_skb() to be called on VLAN
(virtual LAN) packets. An attacker on the local network could trigger this
flaw by sending specially-crafted packets to a target system, possibly
causing a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1576)
