| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
libvirt version 1.0.6
Description
A double free issue exists in the virConnectListAllInterfaces method, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service by crashing libvirtd. This can be achieved by using a filtering flag that causes an interface to be skipped, as demonstrated by the "virsh iface-list --inactive" command.
Recommendations
For libvirt version 1.0.6, consider restricting access to the virConnectListAllInterfaces method until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the filtering flag that causes an interface to be skipped to minimize the risk of exploitation.
