CWE-119  (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 Out-of-Bounds. The qemuDomainGetBlockIoTune function in qemu/qemu_driver.c in libvirt before 1.2.9, when a disk has been hot-plugged or removed from the live image, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or read sensitive heap information via a crafted blkiotune query, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
