Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2013-2176 is a local privilege escalation issue in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Application Provisioning Tool, included with rhev-guest-tools-iso 3.2. A local user could abuse an unquoted Windows search path to run a malicious application with higher privileges. This is not described as remotely exploitable, and no active exploitation is indicated by KEV. Exposure is likely limited to Windows guest systems where Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization guest tools, specifically RHEV-APT from rhev-guest-tools-iso 3.2, were installed or remain in use. Environments no longer using these legacy guest tools are less likely affected. Treat as a legacy local privilege risk. Prioritize if affected Windows guests still exist in virtualization environments, especially shared or multi-user systems. It is less urgent than remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, but should be closed during legacy platform cleanup. Mitigation focus: Review Red Hat advisory RHSA-2013:1122 for official remediation details.; Update or replace affected RHEV guest tools according to vendor guidance.; Remove obsolete RHEV-APT components where no longer required..
