Doc Text:
When libvirtd is configured by OSP director (tripleo-heat-templates) to use TLS transport, it defaults to the same certificate authority as all non-libvirtd services. As no additional authentication is configured, this allows these services to connect to libvirtd (which is equivalent to root access). If a vulnerability exists in another service it could, combined with this flaw, be exploited to escalate privileges to gain control over compute nodes.

Description Adam Mariš 2017-11-06 09:43:28 EST
It was found that if OSP-D is configured with TLS authentication for libvirtd and is using the same certificate authority for non-libvirt related services as well, these services are able to connect to libvirtd as root without any password.
