CVE-2023-3750
The virStoragePoolObjListSearch function does not return a locked pool as expected, resulting in a race condition and denial of service when attempting to lock the same object from another thread.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.76%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

The virStoragePoolObjListSearch function does not return a locked pool as expected, resulting in a race condition and denial of service when attempting to lock the same object from another thread.
