CVE-2012-6115: The domain management tool (rhevm-manage-domains) in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) 3.1...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can expose a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager administrative password in a log file readable by local users. The risk is serious where RHEV-M 3.1 or earlier remains deployed, because a local account could gain sensitive management credentials. Exposure appears limited to organizations running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.1 or earlier and using the domain management validation workflow. Systems with multiple local users, retained logs, or shared administrative hosts have greater practical risk. Prioritize quickly if any legacy RHEV-M 3.1 or earlier host is still in use. The issue is not reported as actively exploited here, but exposed virtualization admin credentials can create broad operational risk. Mitigation focus: Apply Red Hat guidance from RHSA-2013:0211 where applicable.; Upgrade unsupported RHEV-M 3.1 or earlier deployments.; Restrict local access to RHEV-M management hosts..
