CVE-2013-6457

Publication date 24 January 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The libxlDomainGetNumaParameters function in the libxl driver (libxl/libxl_driver.c) in libvirt before 1.2.1 does not properly initialize the nodemap, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (invalid free operation and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an inactive domain to the virsh numatune command.
