NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kubevirt-virt-controller-fips-1.6 package and not the kubevirt-virt-controller-fips-1.6 package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in KubeVirt's downward metrics virtio-serial server. The server reads guest requests using textproto.Reader.ReadLine(), which buffers input indefinitely until a newline character is received, with no length limit or read deadline. A user with access to a VM guest that has the downward metrics virtio-serial device configured can write a continuous byte stream to the device, causing unbounded memory allocation in the virt-handler process until it is OOM-killed.
