The remote Ubuntu 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6253-1 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in libvirt. The virStoragePoolObjListSearch function does not return a locked pool as expected, resulting in a race condition and denial of service when attempting to lock the same object from another thread. This issue could allow clients connecting to the read-only socket to crash the libvirt daemon. (CVE-2023-3750)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
