Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2013-11-02 18:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:57
Severity
Summary
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.
