Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 17.10 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in libvirt.

Software Description: - libvirt: Libvirt virtualization toolkit

Details:

Vivian Zhang and Christoph Anton Mitterer discovered that libvirt incorrectly disabled password authentication when the VNC password was set to an empty string. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-5008)

Daniel P. Berrange discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled validating SSL/TLS certificates. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2017-1000256)

Daniel P. Berrange and Peter Krempa discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled large QEMU replies. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5748)

Pedro Sampaio discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the libnss_dns.so module. An attacker in a libvirt_lxc session could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2018-6764)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 17.10:
libvirt-bin 3.6.0-1ubuntu6.3
libvirt0 3.6.0-1ubuntu6.3

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
libvirt-bin 1.3.1-1ubuntu10.19
libvirt0 1.3.1-1ubuntu10.19

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libvirt-bin 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1.26
libvirt0 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1.26

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
