CVSS v2.0
6.9
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Qemu versions 1.4.1 and earlier
Description
The issue concerns the qemu guest agent in Qemu, which is used by Xen. When the agent is started in daemon mode, it utilizes weak permissions for certain files. This weakness allows local users to read and write to these files.
Recommendations
For Qemu versions 1.4.1 and earlier, consider restricting access to the affected files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid running the qemu guest agent in daemon mode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
