Description Petr Matousek 2014-03-18 10:32:55 UTC
Description of the problem:

Domblkstat is possible even with read-only connection, so whenever
migration with spice is done and domblkstat gets called at the same time
as qemuMonitorGetSpiceMigrationStatus(), there is certain possibility that
the daemon crashes.

An unprivileged user able to issue commands to running libvirtd could use
this flaw to crash libvirtd and prevent more privileged clients from
working correctly.

Comment 1 Petr Matousek 2014-03-18 10:34:47 UTC
Statement:

Not vulnerable.

This issue did not affect the versions of libvirt package as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 (since http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-1581.html, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 GA).

It turns out that I missed that the vulnerability had been backported to RHEL 6 as a result of bug 920205 (libvirt-0.10.2-20.el6); it was fixed for libvirt-0.10.2-27.el6.

Thanks, Eric. I've adjusted the statement.
