Vivian Zhang and Christoph Anton Mitterer discovered that libvirt incorrectly disabled password authentication when the VNC password was set to an empty string. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-5008)

Daniel P. Berrange discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled validating SSL/TLS certificates. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2017-1000256)

Daniel P. Berrange and Peter Krempa discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled large QEMU replies. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5748)

Pedro Sampaio discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the libnss_dns.so module. An attacker in a libvirt_lxc session could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2018-6764).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
