Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2024-0114)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0114 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0114 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A flaw was found in the RPC library APIs of libvirt. The RPC server deserialization code allocates memory for arrays before the non-negative length check is performed by the C API entry points. Passing a negative length to the g_new0 function results in a crash due to the negative length being treated as a huge positive number. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to perform a denial of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-2494) Affected Software/OS: 'libvirt' package(s) on Mageia 9. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
