UBUNTU-CVE-2022-0897 (CVE-2022-0897)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2022-03-25 19:15 – Updated: 2026-08-14 22:59 – Source website

Details

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).

Severity

4.3 (Medium)

Summary

libvirt vulnerabilities

Details

It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled certain locking operations. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to stop accepting connections, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-3667)

It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled threads during shutdown. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-3975)

It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the libxl driver. An attacker inside a guest could possibly use this issue to cause libvirtd to crash or stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 21.10. (CVE-2021-4147)

It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the nwfilter driver. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0897)

It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the polkit access control driver. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-25637)

It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly generated SELinux labels. In environments using SELinux, this issue could allow the sVirt confinement to be bypassed. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-3631)
