NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev package and not the libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev package as distributed by RHEL.

Ubuntu's packaging of libvirt in 20.04 LTS created a control socket with world read and write permissions. An attacker could use this to overwrite arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code.
