script_tag(name:"insight", value:"An off-by-one error flaw was found in the udevListInterfacesByStatus() function in libvirt when the number of interfaces exceeds the size of the `names` array. This issue can be reproduced by sending specially crafted data to the libvirt daemon, allowing an unprivileged client to perform a denial of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash.(CVE-2024-1441)
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the udevConnectListAllInterfaces() function in libvirt. This issue can occur when detaching a host interface while at the same time collecting the list of interfaces via virConnectListAllInterfaces API. This flaw could be used to perform a denial of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash.(CVE-2024-2496)
While the C API entry points will validate non-negative lengths for various parameters, the RPC server de-serialization code will need to allocate memory for arrays before entering the C API. These allocations will thus happen before the non-negative length check is performed. Passing a negative length to the g_new0 function will usually result in a crash due to the negative length being treated as a huge positive number. This was found and diagnosed by ALT Linux Team with AFLplusplus.(CVE-2024-2494)
A race condition leading to a stack use-after-free flaw was found in libvirt. Due to a bad assumption in the virNetClientIOEventLoop() method, the data pointer to a stack-allocated virNetClientIOEventData structure ended up being used in the virNetClientIOEventFD callback while the data pointer s stack frame was concurrently being freed when returning from virNetClientIOEventLoop(). The virtproxyd daemon can be used to trigger requests. If libvirt is configured with fine-grained access control, this issue, in theory, allows a user to escape their otherwise limited access. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to access virtproxyd without authenticating. Remote users would need to authenticate before they could access it.(CVE-2024-4418)");
