Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in libvirtd (Virtualization Software) (affected version unknown). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a config vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-16. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

When libvirtd is configured by OSP director (tripleo-heat-templates) to use the TLS transport it defaults to the same certificate authority as all non-libvirtd services. As no additional authentication is configured this allows these services to connect to libvirtd (which is equivalent to root access). If a vulnerability exists in another service it could, combined with this flaw, be exploited to escalate privileges to gain control over compute nodes.
