CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade libvirt to version 1.1.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The virBitmapParse function in util/virbitmap.c in libvirt before 1.1.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted bitmap, as demonstrated by a large nodeset value to numatune.
