Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions BMC Patrol versions prior to 9.13.10.02

Description The issue allows local users to elevate their privileges to root due to the listguests64 binary being configured with the setuid bit. When executed, it searches for the virsh binary using the PATH environment variable and runs it with root privileges.
