Double free vulnerability in the virConnectListAllInterfaces method in interface/interface_backend_netcf.c in libvirt 1.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (libvirtd crash) via a filtering flag that causes an interface to be skipped, as demonstrated by the "virsh iface-list --inactive" command.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-2218 is a libvirt crash issue. In libvirt 1.0.6, listing network interfaces with certain filters could trigger a double free and crash libvirtd. The reported impact is denial of service, not data theft or code execution. Exposure is most relevant where libvirt 1.0.6 is deployed and remote libvirt management access is enabled. Systems without libvirt, without affected interface backend behavior, or with tightly restricted management access are less exposed. Treat as a targeted availability risk for virtualization management. Prioritize remediation on hosts exposing libvirt remotely or supporting critical virtual infrastructure. Urgency is lower than code execution flaws, but crashes can disrupt operations. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running libvirt 1.0.6 or distribution packages mapping to it.; Check libvirt and OS vendor guidance for the referenced fix.; Apply the vendor-provided libvirt update once confirmed applicable..
