RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Julien Ropé 2020-12-04 14:21:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
First reported here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/-/issues/49

When using TLS to secure the communication to the VM, SPICE is allowing client-initiated renegotiation of ciphers, which can be used to trigger a DoS attack on the host (see https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2011-1473)


How reproducible:
Using the testssl.sh script (from https://testssl.sh/), you can check the vulnerability of a service.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup secure connexion on a SPICE VM using TLS
2. Use testssl.sh to check for the vulnerability

Actual results:
testssl.sh reports the following:

Secure Client-Initiated Renegotiation     VULNERABLE (NOT ok), potential DoS threat

Expected results:

Secure Client-Initiated Renegotiation     likely not vulnerable (OK), timed out
