Descriptions

The virDomainListPopulate function in conf/domain_conf.c in libvirt before 1.2.9 does not clean up the lock on the list of domains, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a NULL value in the second parameter in the virConnectListAllDomains API command.

La función virDomainListPopulate en conf/domain_conf.c en libvirt anterior a 1.2.9 no limpia el bloqueo en la lista de dominios, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo mutuo) a través de un valor nulo en el parámetro second en el comando de API virConnectListAllDomains.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way libvirt's virConnectListAllDomains() function computed the number of used domains. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to make any domain operations within libvirt unresponsive.

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way libvirt's qemuDomainGetBlockIoTune() function looked up the disk index in a non-persistent disk configuration while a persistent disk configuration was being indexed. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to crash libvirtd or, potentially, leak memory from the libvirtd process. A denial of service flaw was found in the way libvirt's virConnectListAllDomains() function computed the number of used domains. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to make any domain operations within libvirt unresponsive. The updated libvirt packages have been upgraded to the 1.1.3.6 version and patched to resolve these security flaws.
