CVE-2026-13208 Kubevirt: virt-handler-rhel9: kubevirt: virt-handler notify server trusts vmi identity from unauthenticated grpc request body

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...

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...
