CVE-2020-10703: Red Hat Libvirt

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 2.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0, and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD. Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a potential denial of service.

Affected products

• Red Hat Libvirt: from 3.10.0, before 6.0.0 (fixed in 6.0.0)
