libvirt: CVE-2019-10167

Severity: High · CVSS 8.8CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Published: Jun 20, 2019, 12:00:00 AM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 0.52% · Oct 27, 2026

The virConnectGetDomainCapabilities() libvirt API, versions 4.x.x before 4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1, accepts an "emulatorbin" argument to specify the program providing emulation for a domain. Since v1.2.19, libvirt will execute that program to probe the domain's capabilities. Read-only clients could specify an arbitrary path for this argument, causing libvirtd to execute a crafted executable with its own privileges.
