NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev package and not the libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev package as distributed by Oracle.
See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
libvirt before 2.0.0 improperly disables password checking when the password on a VNC server is set to an empty string, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and establish a VNC session by connecting to the server.
