CVE-2013-4401

Publication date 2 November 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The virConnectDomainXMLToNative API function in libvirt 1.1.0 through 1.1.3 checks for the connect:read permission instead of the connect:write permission, which allows attackers to gain domain:write privileges and execute Qemu binaries via crafted XML. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
