Description by
CVSS 2.0
4.3
MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
libvirt versions prior to 1.1.3
Description
The issue is related to the remoteClientFreeFunc function in daemon/remote.c. When ACLs are used, this function does not set an identity. As a result, event handler removal is denied, and remote attackers can cause a denial of service by registering an event handler and then closing the connection, leading to a use-after-free and crash.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.1.3, update to version 1.1.3 or later to resolve the issue.
