Descriptions

libvirtd in libvirt before 0.9.0 does not use thread-safe error reporting, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by causing multiple threads to report errors at the same time.

libvirtd de libvirt en versiones anteriores a la 0.9.0 no utiliza el reporte de errores "thread-safe", lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) provocando que múltiples hilos reporten errores al mismo tiempo.
