Canonical · Libvirt · CVE-2020-15708
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libvirt versions 20.04 LTS
**Description**
The issue is related to incorrect permissions for a critical resource in the libvirt virtualization management library. An attacker could exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
**Recommendations**
For libvirt version 20.04 LTS, consider restricting access to the control socket to prevent unauthorized modifications until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, review and adjust the permissions of the control socket to prevent world read and write access.
