CVE-2011-2511  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade libvirt to version 0.9.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Integer overflow in libvirt before 0.9.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (libvirtd crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted VirDomainGetVcpus RPC call that triggers memory corruption.
