CVE-2019-10161: arbitrary file read/exec via virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc API¶ It was discovered that libvirtd would permit readonly clients to use the virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc API, specifying an arbitrary path which would be accessed with the permissions of the libvirtd process. An attacker with access to the libvirtd socket could use this to probe the existence of arbitrary files, cause denial of service or cause libvirtd to execute arbitrary programs. This vulnerability was first present in libvirt v0.9.4. Fixed In Version:¶ libvirt 4.10.1, libvirt 5.4.1
