Description Sam Fowler 2018-09-27 01:48:19 UTC
The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.12 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow in the "__server_getspec" function via the "gf_getspec_req" RPC message. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or other potential unspecified impact.

Patching this issue also requires fixing the "build_volfile_path" function to prevent arbitrary file reads via crafted filenames.

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.
