This issue was patched in ALSA-2023:6409.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-daemon-driver-secret package and not the libvirt-daemon-driver-secret package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libvirt. The virStoragePoolObjListSearch function does not return a locked pool as expected, resulting in a race condition and denial of service when attempting to lock the same object from another thread. This issue could allow clients connecting to the read-only socket to crash the libvirt daemon.
