CVE-2014-3657  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 libvirt to version 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1.7 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt package and not the libvirt package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The virDomainListPopulate function in conf/domain_conf.c in libvirt before 1.2.9 does not clean up the lock on the list of domains, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a NULL value in the second parameter in the virConnectListAllDomains API command.
