CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 libvirt-client to version 0:0.9.10-21.el6_3.4 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2012:1202.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-client package and not the libvirt-client package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The virTypedParameterArrayClear function in libvirt 0.9.13 does not properly handle virDomain* API calls with typed parameters, which might allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (libvirtd crash) via an RPC command with nparams set to zero, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or a free of an invalid pointer.
