CVE-2024-1441 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
