NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt package and not the libvirt package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The qemu implementation of virConnectGetAllDomainStats in libvirt before 1.2.11 does not properly handle locks when a domain is skipped due to ACL restrictions, which allows a remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (deadlock or segmentation fault and crash) via a request to access the users does not have privileges to access.
