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.

libvirt update vulnerability
vendor_ubuntu·2020-01-13
CVE-2019-10161 libvirt update vulnerability
Title: libvirt update vulnerability
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in libvirt.
USN-4047-1 fixed a vulnerability in libvirt. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Matthias Gerstner and Ján Tomko discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled
certain API calls. An attacker could possibly use this issue to check for
arbitrary files, or execute arbitrary binaries. In the default
installation, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

CVE-2019-10161 [HIGH] CVE-2019-10161 libvirt: arbitrary file read/exec via virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc API
CVE-2019-10161 libvirt: arbitrary file read/exec via virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc API
It was discovered that libvirtd would permit readonly 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.
This vulnerability was first present in libvirt v0.9.4.
Discussion:
Statement:
* This vulnerability requires access to the libvirt socket, normally in /var/run/libvirt/libvirt_sock_ro. Typically in hypervisor environments, local user accounts are not supported so no untrusted users should be able to access this socket.
