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

How to fix?

Upgrade libvirt to version 1.2.9 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. 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.
