NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-python package and not the libvirt-python package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The remoteDispatchStoragePoolListAllVolumes function in the storage pool manager in libvirt 1.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via a large number of requests "to list all volumes for the particular pool."
