CVE-2020-10703

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libvirt versions 3.10.0 through 5.x

Description A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. This flaw affects storage pools created without a target path, such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD. Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a potential denial of service.

Recommendations For libvirt versions 3.10.0 through 5.x, update to libvirt 6.0.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the libvirt daemon to prevent unprivileged users from exploiting the flaw.
