MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 2.36%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.36%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

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.
