CVE-2024-1441  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:18.04 libvirt to version 4.0.0-1ubuntu8.21+esm1 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:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

An off-by-one error flaw was found in the udevListInterfacesByStatus() function in libvirt when the number of interfaces exceeds the size of the names array. This issue can be reproduced by sending specially crafted data to the libvirt daemon, allowing an unprivileged client to perform a denial of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash.
