CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 libvirt-client to version 0:0.10.2-18.el6_4.5 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2013:0831.

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 remoteDispatchStoragePoolListAllVolumes function in the storage pool manager in libvirt 1.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption) via a large number of requests "to list all volumes for the particular pool."
