CVE-2022-0897 (GCVE-0-2022-0897)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-03-25 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-02 23:47
VLAI
Summary
A flaw was found in the libvirt nwfilter driver. The virNWFilterObjListNumOfNWFilters method failed to acquire the driver->nwfilters mutex before iterating over virNWFilterObj instances. There was no protection to stop another thread from concurrently modifying the driver->nwfilters object. This flaw allows a malicious, unprivileged user to exploit this issue via libvirt's API virConnectNumOfNWFilters to crash the network filter management daemon (libvirtd/virtnwfilterd).
