Descriptions
The lxcDomainGetMemoryParameters method in lxc/lxc_driver.c in libvirt 1.0.5 through 1.2.0 does not properly check the status of LXC guests when reading memory tunables, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and libvirtd crash) via a guest in the shutdown status, as demonstrated by the "virsh memtune" command.
El método lxcDomainGetMemoryParameters en lxc/lxc_driver.c en libvirt 1.0.5 a 1.2.0 no comprueba correctamente el estado de invitados LXC cuando lee configuraciones de memoria, lo cual permite a usuarios locales causar denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero a NULL y caída de libvirtd) a través de un invitado en el estado de apagado, como se demuestra con el comando "virsh memtune".
Martin Kletzander discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled reading memory tunables from LXC guests. A local user could possibly use this flaw to cause libvirtd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10. Dario Faggioli discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the libxl driver. A local user could possibly use this flaw to cause libvirtd to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10. Various other issues were also addressed.
