Last modified
CVE-2019-10161 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. It was discovered that libvirtd before versions 4.10.1 and 5.4.1 would permit read-only clients to use the virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() API, specifying an arbitrary path which would be accessed with the permissions of the libvirtd process. An attacker with access to the libvirtd socket could use this to probe the existence of arbitrary files, cause denial of service or cause libvirtd to execute arbitrary programs.. EPSS estimates a 0.52% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
