NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-debuginfo package and not the libvirt-debuginfo package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Red Hat libvirt 0.2.0 through 0.8.2 creates iptables rules with improper mappings of privileged source ports, which allows guest OS users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging IP address and source-port values, as demonstrated by copying and deleting an NFS directory tree.
