Doc Text:
It was found that QEMU's qemuDomainMigratePerform() and qemuDomainMigrateFinish2() functions did not correctly perform a domain unlock on a failed ACL check. A remote attacker able to establish a connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to lock a domain of a more privileged user, causing a denial of service.

Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2014-12-19 10:54:27 EST
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2014-8136 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2014-8136
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-8136
Assigned: 20141010
Reference: http://secunia.com/advisories/61111

The (1) qemuDomainMigratePerform and (2) qemuDomainMigrateFinish2
functions in qemu/qemu_driver.c in libvirt do not unlock the domain
when an ACL check fails, which allow local users to cause a denial of
service via unspecified vectors.
