Race condition in the SPICE (aka spice-activex) plug-in for Internet Explorer in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) Manager before 2.2.4 allows local users to create a certain named pipe, and consequently gain privileges, via vectors involving knowledge of the name of this named pipe, in conjunction with use of the ImpersonateNamedPipeClient function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-2793 is a local privilege escalation issue in the SPICE ActiveX plug-in for Internet Explorer shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager before 2.2.4. An attacker already on the system could exploit a race condition around named pipes to gain higher privileges. Exposure is most likely in legacy RHEV Manager environments where the Internet Explorer SPICE ActiveX plug-in remains installed. Modern environments without that plug-in or without affected RHEV versions are unlikely to be exposed. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless affected RHEV Manager and IE ActiveX clients are still in use. Prioritize remediation where untrusted local users can access those systems. Mitigation focus: Identify any RHEV Manager installations before version 2.2.4.; Apply Red Hat advisory RHSA-2010:0818 or upgrade beyond the affected version.; Remove unused SPICE ActiveX components from legacy Windows clients..
