NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-login-shell package and not the libvirt-login-shell package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The virDomainListPopulate function in conf/domain_conf.c in libvirt before 1.2.9 does not clean up the lock on the list of domains, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a NULL value in the second parameter in the virConnectListAllDomains API command.
