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.

Multiple methods in libvirt 0.3.2 through 0.5.1 do not check if a connection is read-only, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and perform administrative actions.
