CVE-2014-8135  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable libvirt to version 1.2.9-7 or higher.

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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The storageVolUpload function in storage/storage_driver.c in libvirt before 1.2.11 does not check a certain return value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted offset value in a "virsh vol-upload" command.
