=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update is now available for Red Hat Virtualization 4 Tools for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 8, Red Hat Virtualization 4 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
8, and Red Hat Virtualization Engine 4.4.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
RHEL-8-RHEV-S-4.4 - Red Hat Virtualization Engine 4.4 - noarch
Red Hat Virtualization 4 Hypervisor for RHEL 8 - noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Virtualization 4 Management Agent for RHEL 7 Hosts - noarch, ppc64le, x86_64
3. Description:
The VDSM service is required by a Virtualization Manager to manage the
Linux hosts. VDSM manages and monitors the host's storage, memory and
networks as well as virtual machine creation, other host administration
tasks, statistics gathering, and log collection.
The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
ovirt-dependencies (4.5.3), ovirt-engine (4.5.3.8), vdsm (4.50.3.8).
(BZ#2180717)
Security Fix(es):
* springframework: Security Bypass With Un-Prefixed Double Wildcard Pattern
(CVE-2023-20860)
* springframework: Spring Expression DoS Vulnerability (CVE-2023-20861)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.
Bug Fix(es):
* Previously, a host with Secure Intel Icelake Server Family could become
non-operational because it did not provide the "taa-no" CPU feature.
In this release, the check has been fixed in the Manager, and such hosts
work properly. (BZ#2184623)
* Previously, when creating bonds on a host outside the Manager and adding
the host without starting it, the RxTx drop count is shown as null.
As a result, a Null Pointer Exception is thrown in the Administration
Portal > Compute > Hosts > Network Interfaces tab.
With this release, null values are accepted, and there are no exceptions
displayed in the Network Interfaces tab. (BZ#2180230)
* Previously, the Volume Extend Logic method skipped sparse volumes. As a
result, RAW sparse volumes (on file storage) were not extended properly.
In this release, RAW sparse volumes are extended as expected. (BZ#2210036)
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
2180230 - Network Interfaces is broken if tx_drop or rx_drop are empty in the DB
2180528 - CVE-2023-20860 springframework: Security Bypass With Un-Prefixed Double Wildcard Pattern
2180530 - CVE-2023-20861 springframework: Spring Expression DoS Vulnerability
2184623 - [RHV] Host Non-Operation after update Cluster CPU to Secure Intel Icelake Server. Missing CPU feature: taa-no
