<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>Dont make use of fine-grained Access Control Lists (ACL) in libvirt;
In Gentoo, libvirts 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>
