Package : libvirt
Version : 1.2.9-9+deb8u7
CVE IDs : CVE-2019-10161 CVE-2019-10167

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in libvirt, an abstraction API
for different underlying virtualisation mechanisms provided by the
kernel, etc.

  • CVE-2019-10161: Prevent an vulnerability where readonly clients
    could use the API to specify 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 a denial of service or
    otherwise cause libvirtd to execute arbitrary programs.

  • CVE-2019-10167: Prevent an arbitrary code execution vulnerability
    via the API where a user-specified binary used to probe the
    domain's capabilities. read-only clients could specify an
    arbitrary path for this argument, causing libvirtd to execute a
    crafted executable with its own privileges.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these issues have been fixed in libvirt
version 1.2.9-9+deb8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your libvirt packages.
