Descriptions

libvirt.c in the API in Red Hat libvirt 0.8.8 does not properly restrict operations in a read-only connection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a (1) virNodeDeviceDettach, (2) virNodeDeviceReset, (3) virDomainRevertToSnapshot, (4) virDomainSnapshotDelete, (5) virNodeDeviceReAttach, or (6) virConnectDomainXMLToNative call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-5086.

libvirt.c en la API de Red Hat libvirt v0.8.8 no restringe correctamente las operaciones en una conexión de solo lectura, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caida del sistema operativo) o posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de una llamada (1) virNodeDeviceDettach, (2) virNodeDeviceReset, (3) virDomainRevertToSnapshot, (4) virDomainSnapshotDelete, (5) virNodeDeviceReAttach, o (6) virConnectDomainXMLToNative, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2008-5086.
