CVE-2021-3667

Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). The main package includes the libvirtd server exporting the virtualization support.

Security Fix(es):

An improper locking issue was found in the virStoragePoolLookupByTargetPath API of libvirt. It occurs in the storagePoolLookupByTargetPath function where a locked virStoragePoolObj object is not properly released on ACL permission failure. Clients connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL permissions could use this flaw to acquire the lock and prevent other users from accessing storage pool/volume APIs, resulting in a denial of service condition. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.(CVE-2021-3667)

A flaw was found in libvirt while it generates SELinux MCS category pairs for VMs' dynamic labels. This flaw allows one exploited guest to access files labeled for another guest, resulting in the breaking out of sVirt confinement. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.(CVE-2021-3631)

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offers a full virtualization solution for Linux on numerous hardware platforms. The virt:Rocky Linux module contains packages which provide user-space components used to run virtual machines using KVM. The packages also provide APIs for managing and interacting with the virtualized systems.

Security Fix(es):

• QEMU: net: e1000e: use-after-free while sending packets (CVE-2020-15859)

• QEMU: slirp: invalid pointer initialization may lead to information disclosure (bootp) (CVE-2021-3592)

• QEMU: slirp: invalid pointer initialization may lead to information disclosure (udp6) (CVE-2021-3593)

• QEMU: slirp: invalid pointer initialization may lead to information disclosure (udp) (CVE-2021-3594)

• QEMU: slirp: invalid pointer initialization may lead to information disclosure (tftp) (CVE-2021-3595)

• libvirt: Insecure sVirt label generation (CVE-2021-3631)

• libvirt: Improper locking on ACL failure in virStoragePoolLookupByTargetPath API (CVE-2021-3667)
