CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 libvirt to version 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1.16 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 (1) qemuDomainMigratePerform and (2) qemuDomainMigrateFinish2 functions in qemu/qemu_driver.c in libvirt do not unlock the domain when an ACL check fails, which allow local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.
