Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libvirt.

CVE-2026-18917[0]:
| A flaw was found in libvirt. An unprivileged local user could
| exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the NodeGetFreePages
| RPC handler. This flaw allows crafted values to bypass a size check,
| leading to an undersized memory buffer. Subsequently, real NUMA node
| data can overwrite this buffer. This heap buffer overflow can
| corrupt the root libvirt daemon's memory, potentially leading to a
| denial of service or local privilege escalation.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
