CVE-2010-2237

Publication date 19 August 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Red Hat libvirt, possibly 0.6.1 through 0.8.2, looks up disk backing stores without referring to the user-defined main disk format, which might allow guest OS users to read arbitrary files on the host OS, and possibly have unspecified other impact, via unknown vectors.

Notes

jdstrand

AppArmor 10.04 should mostly protect the host OS, but an attacker in a virtual machine may be able to access files of another machine. upstream patch is highly intrusive, needs rewriting for all affected releases, requires a conffile change and a migration helper. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is the first release to probe the backing stores
