NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-lock-sanlock package and not the libvirt-lock-sanlock package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was discovered that libvirtd before versions 4.10.1 and 5.4.1 would permit read-only clients to use the virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() API, specifying an arbitrary path which would be accessed with the permissions of the libvirtd process. An attacker with access to the libvirtd socket could use this to probe the existence of arbitrary files, cause denial of service or cause libvirtd to execute arbitrary programs.
