UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to UNIX Symbolic Link Symlink Following through the WriteToCachedFile function when handling network cache files in certain configurations. An attacker can overwrite specific host files and change their ownership by planting a symbolic lin...

CVE-2026-13208

A flaw was found in KubeVirt's virt-handler domain notify server. The gRPC handlers for HandleDomainEvent and HandleK8SEvent derive the VMI identity namespace/name solely from the request body without validating it against the connection's origin. Each virt-launcher pod connects through a per-VMI...

CVE-2026-13201

A flaw was found in KubeVirt's safepath package used by virt-handler. The OpenAtNoFollow function uses OPATH|ONOFOLLOW to obtain a file descriptor to a path leaf, but downstream operations resolve the path via /proc/self/fd/N using link-following syscalls. When the leaf is a symlink, the kernel...

CVE-2026-13201 Kubevirt: virt-handler-rhel9: kubevirt: safepath symlink following in virt-handler enables notify socket hijacking and node-level vm disruption

A flaw was found in KubeVirt's safepath package used by virt-handler. The OpenAtNoFollow function uses OPATH|ONOFOLLOW to obtain a file descriptor to a path leaf, but downstream operations resolve the path via /proc/self/fd/N using link-following syscalls. When the leaf is a symlink, the kernel...

EUVD-2026-39086

A flaw was found in KubeVirt's safepath package. The OpenAtNoFollow function uses OPATH|ONOFOLLOW to obtain a file descriptor to a path leaf, but downstream helpers operate via /proc/self/fd/N using link-following syscalls. When the leaf is a symlink, the kernel dereferences it, defeating the...

Improper Link Resolution

kubevirt.io/kubevirt is vulnerable to improper link resolution. The vulnerability is due to lack of verification of whether the launcher-sock is a symlink or regular file, which allows an attacker with control over the virt-launcher pod file system to manipulate file ownership on the host and...

Improper Symlink Handling

kubevirt.io/kubevirt is vulnerable to improper symlink handling. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of symbolic links in PVC disk mounting along with incorrect file ownership changes, which allows an attacker with control over PVC contents to create malicious symlinks and read...

SUSE CVE-2025-64433

KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.5.3 and 1.6.1, a vulnerability was discovered that allows a VM to read arbitrary files from the virt-launcher pod's file system. This issue stems from improper symlink handling when mounting PVC disks into a VM...

Directory Traversal

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal via improper symlink handling during the mounting process. An attacker can access and read arbitrary files from the virt-launcher pod's file system by creating a symbolic link within a PVC that points to sensitive...
