Libvirt · Libvirt · CVE-2019-10132
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libvirt versions 4.1.0 and later
**Description**
A vulnerability was found in the virtlockd-admin.socket and virtlogd-admin.socket systemd units of libvirt. The issue is caused by a missing SocketMode configuration parameter, which allows any user on the host to connect using virtlockd-admin-sock or virtlogd-admin-sock and perform administrative tasks against the virtlockd and virtlogd daemons. This could potentially allow an attacker to elevate their privileges.
**Recommendations**
For libvirt versions 4.1.0 and later, consider adding the SocketMode configuration parameter to the virtlockd-admin.socket and virtlogd-admin.socket systemd units to restrict access. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the virtlockd-admin-sock and virtlogd-admin-sock sockets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
