|
|
|
<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.

|
<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 ">=app-emulation/libvirt-1.2.21-r1"
|
|
|
</code>
