CVE-2024-8235 (GCVE-0-2024-8235)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-08-30 16:16 – Updated: 2025-11-08 07:13

Title

Libvirt: crash of virtinterfaced via virconnectlistinterfaces()

Summary

A flaw was found in libvirt. A refactor of the code fetching the list of interfaces for multiple APIs introduced a corner case on platforms where allocating 0 bytes of memory results in a NULL pointer. This corner case would lead to a NULL-pointer dereference and subsequent crash of virtinterfaced. This issue could allow clients connecting to the read-only socket to crash the virtinterfaced daemon.

Severity ?

6.2 (Medium)
