CVE-2025-14525 Details
Description
A flaw was found in kubevirt. A user within a virtual machine (VM), if the guest agent is active, can exploit this by causing the agent to report an excessive number of network interfaces. This action can overwhelm the system's ability to store VM configuration updates, effectively blocking changes to the Virtual Machine Instance (VMI). This allows the VM user to restrict the VM administrator's ability to manage the VM, leading to a denial of service for administrative operations.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in KubeVirt. When the guest agent is active, a user within a virtual machine can exploit this flaw by causing the agent to report an excessive number of network interfaces. This overloads the system's capacity to manage VM configuration updates, effectively blocking changes to the Virtual Machine Instance (VMI). As a result, the VM user can hinder the VM administrator's ability to manage the VM, disrupting administrative operations.
