libvirt 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of domain migrate parameters in certain RPC calls in (1) daemon/remote.c and (2) remote/remote_driver.c.

The virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel function in libvirt 0.10.2.7, 1.0.5.5, and 1.1.1, when the domain has read an uid:gid label, does not properly set group memberships, which allows local users to gain privileges.

The xenDaemonListDefinedDomains function in xen/xend_internal.c in libvirt 1.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) via vectors involving the virConnectListDefinedDomains API function.

The qemuAgentCommand function in libvirt before 1.1.1, when a guest agent is not configured, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via vectors related to "agent based cpu (un)plug," as demonstrated by the "virsh vcpucount…

Double free vulnerability in the qemuAgentGetVCPUs function in qemu/qemu_agent.c in libvirt 1.0.6 through 1.1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a cpu count request, as demonstrated by the "virsh vcpucount dom --guest" command.

The qemu driver (qemu/qemu_driver.c) in libvirt before 1.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via unspecified vectors involving "multiple events registration."

The remoteDispatchStoragePoolListAllVolumes function in the storage pool manager in libvirt 1.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via a large number of requests "to list all volumes for the particular pool."

libvirt 1.0.2 and earlier sets the group owner to kvm for device files, which allows local users to write to these files via unspecified vectors.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the virNetMessageFree function in rpc/virnetserverclient.c in libvirt 1.0.x before 1.0.2, 0.10.2 before 0.10.2.3, 0.9.11 before 0.9.11.9, and 0.9.6 before 0.9.6.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute…

The virNetServerProgramDispatchCall function in libvirt before 0.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and segmentation fault) via an RPC call with (1) an event as the RPC number or (2) an RPC number whose value is in a "gap" in the…

The virTypedParameterArrayClear function in libvirt 0.9.13 does not properly handle virDomain* API calls with typed parameters, which might allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (libvirtd crash) via an RPC command with nparams set to zero, which triggers…

Integer overflow in libvirt before 0.9.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (libvirtd crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted VirDomainGetVcpus RPC call that triggers memory corruption.

The virSecurityManagerGetPrivateData function in security/security_manager.c in libvirt 0.8.8 through 0.9.1 uses the wrong argument for a sizeof call, which causes incorrect processing of "security manager private data" that "reopens disk probing" and might allow guest OS users…

libvirtd in libvirt before 0.9.0 does not use thread-safe error reporting, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by causing multiple threads to report errors at the same time.

libvirt.c in the API in Red Hat libvirt 0.8.8 does not properly restrict operations in a read-only connection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a (1) virNodeDeviceDettach, (2) virNodeDeviceReset,…

Red Hat libvirt 0.2.0 through 0.8.2 creates iptables rules with improper mappings of privileged source ports, which allows guest OS users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging IP address and source-port values, as demonstrated by copying and deleting an NFS…

Red Hat libvirt, possibly 0.6.0 through 0.8.2, creates new images without setting the user-defined backing-store format, which allows guest OS users to read arbitrary files on the host OS via unspecified vectors.

Red Hat libvirt, possibly 0.7.2 through 0.8.2, recurses into disk-image backing stores without extracting the defined disk backing-store format, which might allow guest OS users to read arbitrary files on the host OS, and possibly have unspecified other impact, via unknown…

Red Hat libvirt, possibly 0.6.1 through 0.8.2, looks up disk backing stores without referring to the user-defined main disk format, which might allow guest OS users to read arbitrary files on the host OS, and possibly have unspecified other impact, via unknown vectors.

Multiple methods in libvirt 0.3.2 through 0.5.1 do not check if a connection is read-only, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and perform administrative actions.
