Focus on ovirt vulnerabilities and metrics.
Last updated: 08 Mar 2025, 23:25 UTC
This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with ovirt. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total ovirt CVEs: 21
Earliest CVE date: 31 Aug 2012, 20:55 UTC
Latest CVE date: 25 Jan 2024, 16:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2024-0822
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 0
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): -100.0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): -100.0%
Average CVSS: 4.39
Max CVSS: 9.0
Critical CVEs (≥9): 3
Range | Count |
---|---|
0.0-3.9 | 8 |
4.0-6.9 | 9 |
7.0-8.9 | 3 |
9.0-10.0 | 3 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for ovirt, sorted by severity first and recency.
An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in overt-engine. This flaw allows the creation of users in the system without authentication due to a flaw in the CreateUserSession command.
An HTML injection/reflected Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in the ovirt-engine. A parameter "error_description" fails to sanitize the entry, allowing the vulnerability to trigger on the Windows Service Accounts home pages.
It was found that the ovirt-log-collector/sosreport collects the RHV admin password unfiltered. Fixed in: sos-4.2-20.el8_6, ovirt-log-collector-4.4.7-2.el8ev
A race condition was found in vdsm. Functionality to obfuscate sensitive values in log files that may lead to values being stored in clear text.
A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC protocol functionality in the way a user sends a packet with malicious content where the number of domain member nodes is higher than the 64 allowed. This flaw allows a remote user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges if they have access to the TIPC network.
A flaw was found in the way the "flags" member of the new pipe buffer structure was lacking proper initialization in copy_page_to_iter_pipe and push_pipe functions in the Linux kernel and could thus contain stale values. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to write to pages in the page cache backed by read only files and as such escalate their privileges on the system.
A flaw was found in ovirt-engine 4.4.3 and earlier allowing an authenticated user to read other users' personal information, including name, email and public SSH key.
A flaw was found in Ovirt Engine's web interface in ovirt 4.4 and earlier, where it did not filter user-controllable parameters completely, resulting in a reflected cross-site scripting attack. This flaw allows an attacker to leverage a phishing attack, steal an unsuspecting user's cookies or other confidential information, or impersonate them within the application's context.
A cross-site scripting vulnerability was reported in the oVirt-engine's OAuth authorization endpoint before version 4.3.8. URL parameters were included in the HTML response without escaping. This flaw would allow an attacker to craft malicious HTML pages that can run scripts in the context of the user's oVirt session.
oVirt Node: Lock screen accepts F2 to drop to shell causing privilege escalation
vdsm: certificate generation upon node creation allowing vdsm to start and serve requests from anyone who has a matching key (and certificate)
ovirt-engine 3.2 running on Linux kernel 3.1 and newer creates certain files world-writeable due to an upstream kernel change which impacted how python's os.chmod() works when passed a mode of '-1'.
Sensitive passwords used in deployment and configuration of oVirt Metrics, all versions. were found to be insufficiently protected. Passwords could be disclosed in log files (if playbooks are run with -v) or in playbooks stored on Metrics or Bastion hosts.
During HE deployment via cockpit-ovirt, cockpit-ovirt generates an ansible variable file `/var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/cockpit/ansibleVarFileXXXXXX.var` which contains the admin and the appliance passwords as plain-text. At the of the deployment procedure, these files are deleted.
A vulnerability was discovered in vdsm, version 4.19 through 4.30.3 and 4.30.5 through 4.30.8. The systemd_run function exposed to the vdsm system user could be abused to execute arbitrary commands as root.
It was found that vdsm before version 4.20.37 invokes qemu-img on untrusted inputs without limiting resources. By uploading a specially crafted image, an attacker could cause the qemu-img process to consume unbounded amounts of memory of CPU time, causing a denial of service condition that could potentially impact other users of the host.
ovirt-ansible-roles before version 1.0.6 has a vulnerability due to a missing no_log directive, resulting in the 'Add oVirt Provider to ManageIQ/CloudForms' playbook inadvertently disclosing admin passwords in the provisioning log. In an environment where logs are shared with other parties, this could lead to privilege escalation.
The web console login form in ovirt-engine before version 4.2.3 returned different errors for non-existent users and invalid passwords, allowing an attacker to discover the names of valid user accounts.
An information disclosure in ovirt-hosted-engine-setup prior to 2.2.7 reveals the root user's password in the log file.
oVirt 3.2.2 through 3.5.0 does not invalidate the restapi session after logout from the webadmin, which allows remote authenticated users with knowledge of another user's session data to gain that user's privileges by replacing their session token with that of another user.
ovirt_safe_delete_config in ovirtfunctions.py and other unspecified locations in ovirt-node 3.0.0-474-gb852fd7 as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3 do not properly quote input strings, which allows remote authenticated users and physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a ; (semicolon) in an input string.
The setup_logging function in log.h in SANLock uses world-writable permissions for /var/log/sanlock.log, which allows local users to overwrite the file content or bypass intended disk-quota restrictions via standard filesystem write operations.
The python SDK before 3.1.0.6 and CLI before 3.1.0.8 for oVirt 3.1 does not check the server SSL certificate against the client keys, which allows remote attackers to spoof a server via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
