| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H |
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.
Fix
Incorrect Permission
