CVE-2019-20485

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libvirt versions prior to 6.0.0

Description The issue is related to the mishandling of the holding of a monitor job during a query to a guest agent in the qemu/qemu driver.c file. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in API blockage.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.0.0, update to version 6.0.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the guest agent query functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
