A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the udevConnectListAllInterfaces() function in libvirt. This issue can occur when detaching a host interface while at the same time collecting the list of interfaces via virConnectListAllInterfaces API. This flaw could be used to perform a denial of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash.

The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2024-2236 advisory.

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the udevConnectListAllInterfaces() function in libvirt. This     issue can occur when detaching a host interface while at the same time collecting the list of interfaces     via virConnectListAllInterfaces API. This flaw could be used to perform a denial of service attack by     causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-2496)

The version of libvirt installed on the remote host is prior to 4.5.0-36. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2513 advisory.

  - An off-by-one error flaw was found in the udevListInterfacesByStatus() function in libvirt when the number     of interfaces exceeds the size of the `names` array. This issue can be reproduced by sending specially     crafted data to the libvirt daemon, allowing an unprivileged client to perform a denial of service attack     by causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-1441)

  - 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. (CVE-2024-2494)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the udevConnectListAllInterfaces() function in libvirt. This     issue can occur when detaching a host interface while at the same time collecting the list of interfaces     via virConnectListAllInterfaces API.

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3778 advisory.

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0,     and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this     flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD.
    Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon,     resulting in a potential denial of service. (CVE-2020-10703)

  - An issue was discovered in qemuDomainGetStatsIOThread in qemu/qemu_driver.c in libvirt 4.10.0 though 6.x     before 6.1.0. A memory leak was found in the virDomainListGetStats libvirt API that is responsible for     retrieving domain statistics when managing QEMU guests. This flaw allows unprivileged users with a read-     only connection to cause a memory leak in the domstats command, resulting in a potential denial of     service. (CVE-2020-12430)

  - A double free memory issue was found to occur in the libvirt API, in versions before 6.8.0, responsible     for requesting information about network interfaces of a running QEMU domain. This flaw affects the polkit     access control driver. Specifically, clients connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL     permissions could use this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a denial of service, or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25637)

  - A flaw was found in libvirt while it generates SELinux MCS category pairs for VMs' dynamic labels. This     flaw allows one exploited guest to access files labeled for another guest, resulting in the breaking out     of sVirt confinement. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.
    (CVE-2021-3631)

  - An improper locking issue was found in the virStoragePoolLookupByTargetPath API of libvirt. It occurs in     the storagePoolLookupByTargetPath function where a locked virStoragePoolObj object is not properly     released on ACL permission failure. Clients connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL     permissions could use this flaw to acquire the lock and prevent other users from accessing storage     pool/volume APIs, resulting in a denial of service condition. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3667)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in libvirt. The qemuMonitorUnregister() function in     qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF is called using multiple threads without being adequately protected by a     monitor lock. This flaw could be triggered by the virConnectGetAllDomainStats API when the guest is     shutting down. An unprivileged client with a read-only connection could use this flaw to perform a denial     of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2021-3975)

  - A flaw was found in the libvirt libxl driver. A malicious guest could continuously reboot itself and cause     libvirtd on the host to deadlock or crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2021-4147)

  - A flaw was found in the libvirt nwfilter driver. The virNWFilterObjListNumOfNWFilters method failed to     acquire the driver->nwfilters mutex before iterating over virNWFilterObj instances. There was no     protection to stop another thread from concurrently modifying the driver->nwfilters object. This flaw     allows a malicious, unprivileged user to exploit this issue via libvirt's API virConnectNumOfNWFilters to     crash the network filter management daemon (libvirtd/virtnwfilterd). (CVE-2022-0897)

  - An off-by-one error flaw was found in the udevListInterfacesByStatus() function in libvirt when the number     of interfaces exceeds the size of the `names` array.
