This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.4 for RHEL 6 Native Client for RHEL 6 for Red Hat Storage Via RHSA-2018:2608 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:2608
upstream fix: https://review.gluster.org/21071
Mitigation: SELinux mitigates this issue on Red Hat Gluster Storage 3. SELinux should be in enforcing mode only as permissive mode does not block attacks.
Statement: This issue did not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 as the flaw is present in glusterfs-server, which is not shipped there. This flaw affects glusterfs versions included in Red Hat Virtualization 4 Hypervisor. However, in recommended configurations, the vulnerability is only exposed to hypervisor administrators and can not be exploited from virtual machines or other hosts on the network.
