CVE-2011-4600 [MEDIUM] libvirt vulnerabilities
Title: libvirt vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in libvirt.
It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the firewall rules on
bridge networks when the daemon was restarted. This could result in an
unintended firewall configuration. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04
LTS. (CVE-2011-4600)
Peter Krempa discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled locking when
certain ACL checks failed. A local attacker could use this issue to cause
libvirt to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This issue
only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-8136)
Luyao Huang discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled VNC passwords in
shapshot and image files. A remote authenticated user could use this issue
to possibly obtain VNC passwords. This issue only affe

libvirt: missing ACL check for the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag in save images and snapshots objects
libvirt before 1.2.12 allow remote authenticated users to obtain the VNC password by using the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag with a crafted (1) snapshot to the virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc interface or (2) image to the virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc interface.
It was discovered that the virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc() and virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() functions did not sufficiently limit the usage of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag when fine-grained ACLs were enabled. A remote attacker able to establish a connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to obtain certain sensitive information from the domain XML file.

CVE-2015-0236 libvirt: missing ACL check for the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag in save images and snapshots objects
The XML getters for for save images and snapshots objects don't check ACLs
for the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag and might possibly dump security sensitive
information.
A remote attacker able to establish a connection to libvirtd
could use this flaw to cause leak certain limited information from the
domain xml file.
