medium Nessus Plugin ID 53218

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Petr Matousek discovered that libvirt did not always honor read-only connections. An attacker who is authorized to connect to the libvirt daemon could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution
