The virStorageVolCreateXML API in libvirt 1.2.14 through 1.2.19 allows remote authenticated users with a read-write connection to cause a denial of service (libvirtd crash) by triggering a failed unlink after creating a volume on a root_squash NFS pool.

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
