Resolved Date: Oct 8, 2024
Found In Version: 10.22.33.1
Fix Version: 10.22.33.19
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 22
Component/s: Userspace

Description

A flaw was found in the RPC library APIs of libvirt. The RPC server deserialization code allocates memory for arrays before the non-negative length check is performed by the C API entry points. Passing a negative length to the g_new0 function results in a crash due to the negative length being treated as a huge positive number. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to perform a denial of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash.
