Description
The virConnectDomainXMLToNative API function in libvirt 1.1.0 through 1.1.3 checks for the connect:read permission instead of the connect:write permission, which allows attackers to gain domain:write privileges and execute Qemu binaries via crafted XML. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
Affected configurations
• redhat libvirt 1.1.0
• redhat libvirt 1.1.1
• redhat libvirt 1.1.2
• redhat libvirt 1.1.3
