MEDIUM 6.3EPSS 1.48%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.48%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in libvirt before version 5.0.0 in the way it gets interface information through the QEMU agent. An attacker in a guest VM can use this flaw to crash libvirtd and cause a denial of service.
