Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2011-03-14 14:10:22 UTC
From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683650:
It has been found that several libvirt API calls (virNodeDeviceDettach,
virNodeDeviceReset, virDomainRevertToSnapshot, virDomainSnapshotDelete) did not
honour read-only connection. Remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the
host server (DoS).

Patch (applied upstream): see $URL

CVE-2011-1146 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-1146):
  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, (3)
  virDomainRevertToSnapshot, (4) virDomainSnapshotDelete, (5)
  virNodeDeviceReAttach, or (6) virConnectDomainXMLToNative call, a different
  vulnerability than CVE-2008-5086.
