A local attacker could use this flaw to obtain those passwords and gain access to the hypervisors. (CVE-2014-0189) Red Hat would like to thank Sal Castiglione for reporting this issue. Discussions about fixing the issue are ongoing: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1088732 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081286 -- Murray McAllister / Red Hat Security Response Team
