Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. The virStorageVolCreateXML API in libvirt 1.2.14 through 1.2.19 allows remote authenticated users with a read-write connection to cause a denial of service (libvirtd crash) by triggering a failed unlink after creating a volume on a root_squash NFS pool.
