GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2022-0485 (GCVE-0-2022-0485)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-08-29 14:03 – Updated: 2024-08-02 23:32
VLAI
Summary
A flaw was found in the copying tool `nbdcopy` of libnbd. When performing multi-threaded copies using asynchronous nbd calls, nbdcopy was blindly treating the completion of an asynchronous command as successful, rather than checking the *error parameter. This could result in the silent creation of a corrupted destination image.
