libvirt: CVE-2020-10703

Severity: Medium · CVSS 6.5CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Published: Jan 14, 2020, 12:00:00 AM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 2.38% · Oct 25, 2026

A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0, and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD. Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a potential denial of service.
