CVE-2021-3975

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-416 Use After Free
Publication date:
23/08/2022
Last modified:

Description

A use-after-free flaw was found in libvirt. The qemuMonitorUnregister() function in qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF is called using multiple threads without being adequately protected by a monitor lock. This flaw could be triggered by the virConnectGetAllDomainStats API when the guest is shutting down. An unprivileged client with a read-only connection could use this flaw to perform a denial of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash.
