NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-disk package and not the libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-disk package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

util/virlog.c in libvirt does not properly determine the hostname on LXC container startup, which allows local guest OS users to bypass an intended container protection mechanism and execute arbitrary commands via a crafted NSS module.
