Hi,

we just updated two days before this announcement from 4.17.1.0 to 4.18.2.0. 
Updating the management servers work straight forward. But renewing all virtual 
routers for about 300 isolated networks and vpcs ist always a bit tricky, 
because our customers naturally expect near to zero downtime of their services. 
I wonder if it will be necessary for an update from 4.18.2.0 to .1 again? 
Your upgrade instructions on 
https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.18.2.1/upgrading/upgrade/upgrade-4.18.html
 imply this and release notes 
https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.18.2.1/releasenotes/about.html show 
"Several System VM (CPVM, SSVM) fixes and improvements, but the upgrade 
instructions still reference the same SystemVM-Image like for 4.18.2.0 (for 
VMWare it's: 
http://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.18/systemvmtemplate-4.18.1-vmware.ova)

So, my question is: Is Renewing System-VMs and virtual Routers necessary for a 
minor release update? (knowing the importance of this update)

Kind regards
Markus

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache CloudStack LTS Security Releases 4.18.2.1 and 
4.19.0.2

Apache CloudStack project announces the release of LTS security releases
4.18.2.1 and 4.19.0.2 that addresses CVE-2024-38346 and CVE-2024-39864, both of 
severity rating 'important', explained below.

# CVE-2024-38346: Unauthenticated cluster service port leads to remote execution

The CloudStack cluster service runs on unauthenticated port (default 9090) that 
can be misused to run arbitrary commands on targeted hypervisors and CloudStack 
management server hosts. Some of these commands were found to have command 
injection vulnerabilities that can result in arbitrary code execution via 
agents on the hosts that may run as a privileged user. An attacker that can 
reach the cluster service on the unauthenticated port (default 9090), can 
exploit this to perform remote code execution on CloudStack managed hosts and 
result in complete compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and 
availability of CloudStack managed infrastructure.

# CVE-2024-39864: Integration API service uses dynamic port when disabled

The CloudStack integration API service allows running its unauthenticated API 
server (usually on port 8096 when configured and enabled via 
integration.api.port global setting) for internal portal integrations and for 
testing purposes. By default, the integration API service port is disabled and 
is considered disabled when integration.api.port is set to 0 or negative. Due 
to an improper initialisation logic, the integration API service would listen 
on a random port when its port value is set to 0 (default value). An attacker 
that can access the CloudStack management network could scan and find the 
randomised integration API service port and exploit it to perform unauthorised 
administrative actions and perform remote code execution on CloudStack managed 
hosts and result in complete compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and 
availability of CloudStack managed infrastructure.

# Credits

Both the CVEs are credited to the following reporters from the Apple Services 
Engineering Security team:

- Adam Pond (finder)
- Terry Thibault (finder)
- Damon Smith (finder)

# Affected Versions

- Apache CloudStack 4.0.0 through 4.18.2.0
- Apache CloudStack 4.19.0.0 through 4.19.0.1

# Resolution

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.18.2.1, 4.19.0.2 or later, which 
addresses these issues.

Additionally, users are recommended the following actions:

- Restrict the network access to the cluster service port (default 9090) on a 
CloudStack management server host to only its peer CloudStack management server 
hosts.
- Restrict the network access on the CloudStack management server hosts to only 
essential ports.
