Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-115 - The LXC driver in libvirt 1.0.1 through 1.2.1 allows local users to delete arbitrary host devices via the virDomainDeviceDettach API and a symlink attack on /dev in the container; via the virDomainDeviceAttach API and a symlink attack on /dev in the container; and cause a denial of service (shutdown or reboot host OS) via the virDomainReboot API and a symlink attack on /dev/initctl in the container, related to paths under /proc//root and the virInitctlSetRunLevel function. Various other issues have also been addressed.

In addition, libvirt provides tools for remote management of virtualized systems. It was found that when the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag was used, the QEMU driver implementation of the virDomainGetXMLDesc() function could bypass the restrictions of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to leak certain limited information from the domain XML data.

An attacker with read-only privileges could possibly use this to gain access to certain information from the domain xml file.
b1e46fa67faacfb7e538c3ab47855727400c604063f8f1f9cdcbb61a33e35d27Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1873-01 - The libvirt library is a C API for managing and interacting with the virtualization capabilities of Linux and other operating systems. In addition, libvirt provides tools for remote management of virtualized systems. An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way libvirt's qemuDomainGetBlockIoTune() function looked up the disk index in a non-persistent disk configuration while a persistent disk configuration was being indexed. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to crash libvirtd or, potentially, leak memory from the libvirtd process.

An attacker could use this issue to cause libvirtd to hang, resulting in a denial of service. Eric Blake discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled permissions when processing the qemuDomainFormatXML command. An attacker with read-only privileges could possibly use this to gain access to certain information from the domain xml file. Various other issues were also addressed.
