Description Doran Moppert 2019-06-13 07:53:24 UTC 
It was discovered that libvirtd would permit readonly clients to use the
virDomainManagedSaveDefineXML() API, which would permit them to modify 
managed save state files.  If a managed save had already been created by 
a privileged user, a local attacker could modify this file such that 
libvirtd would execute an arbitrary program when the domain was resumed.

This vulnerability was first present in libvirt v3.6.1.
Comment 4 Hardik Vyas 2019-06-19 07:09:56 UTC 
Statement:

* This vulnerability requires access to the libvirt socket, normally in /var/run/libvirt/libvirt_sock_ro.  Typically in hypervisor environments, local user accounts are not supported so no untrusted users should be able to access this socket.
* Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 is not affected by this vulnerability as libvirtd daemon is not shipped in Gluster.

Comment 6 Doran Moppert 2019-06-20 02:05:42 UTC 
Mitigation:

The Unix permissions of libvirt's read-only socket can be made more restrictive than the default (0777) by editing `/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf`.  The settings `unix_sock_group = libvirt` and `unix_sock_ro_perms = 0770` will restrict access to only members of `libvirt`, who already have management access to virtual machines.
