Ubuntu Security Notice 2867-1 - It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the firewall rules on bridge networks when the daemon was restarted. This could result in an unintended firewall configuration. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Peter Krempa discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled locking when certain ACL checks failed. A local attacker could use this issue to cause libvirt to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.

Various other issues have also been addressed.

The XML getters for for save images and snapshots objects don't check ACLs for the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag and might possibly dump security sensitive information. A remote attacker able to establish a connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to cause leak certain limited information from the domain xml file. The updated packages provides the latest 1.1.3.9 version which has more robust fixes for MDVSA-2015:023 and MDVSA-2015:035.

It was found that QEMU's qemuDomainMigratePerform() and qemuDomainMigrateFinish2() functions did not correctly perform a domain unlock on a failed ACL check. A remote attacker able to establish a connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to lock a domain of a more privileged user, causing a denial of service. It was discovered that the virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc() and virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() functions did not sufficiently limit the usage of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag when fine-grained ACLs were enabled. A remote attacker able to establish a connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to obtain certain sensitive information from the domain XML file.
