+ <title>libvirt: Directory traversal</title>
+ <synopsis>Libvirt is vulnerable to directory traversal when using Access
+ Control Lists (ACL).

+ <background>
+ <p>libvirt is a C toolkit for manipulating virtual machines.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Normally, only privileged users can coerce libvirt into creating or
+ opening existing files using the virStorageVol APIs; and such users
+ already have full privilege to create any domain XML.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>But in the case of fine-grained ACLs, it is feasible that a user can be
+ granted storage_vol:create but not domain:write, and it violates
+ assumptions if such a user can abuse libvirt to access files outside of
+ the storage pool.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>When fine-grained Access Control Lists (ACL) are in effect, an
+ authenticated local user with storage_vol:create permission but without
+ domain:write permission maybe able to create or access arbitrary files
+ outside of the storage pool.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>Don’t make use of fine-grained Access Control Lists (ACL) in libvirt;
+ In Gentoo, libvirt’s ACL support is disable by default unless you
+ enable the “policykit” USE flag.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All libvirt users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-emulation/libvirt-1.2.21-r1"
+ </code>
