Opensuse · Libvirt · CVE-2012-4423
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libvirt versions prior to 0.10.2
**Description**
The issue affects the libvirt package in the openSUSE operating system, potentially leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Exploitation can occur remotely. The `virNetServerProgramDispatchCall` function in libvirt is vulnerable to a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and segmentation fault) via an RPC call with specific conditions.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.10.2, update to version 0.10.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `virNetServerProgramDispatchCall` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
