CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: libvirt (CVE-2024-1441)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 201600

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of libvirt installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-1441 advisory.

- An off-by-one error flaw was found in the udevListInterfacesByStatus() function in libvirt when the number of interfaces exceeds the size of the `names` array. This issue can be reproduced by sending specially crafted data to the libvirt daemon, allowing an unprivileged client to perform a denial of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-1441)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
