Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2014-3657 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The virDomainListPopulate function in conf/domain_conf.c in libvirt before 1.2.9 does not clean up the lock on the list of domains, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a NULL value in the second parameter in the virConnectListAllDomains API command.. EPSS estimates a 2.79% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
