{"id":"AZL-95616","summary":"CVE-2026-63622 affecting package libvirt 10.10.0-2","details":"A flaw was found in libvirt. A local attacker, specifically a process running as the confined `swtpm` user, could exploit a symlink-following vulnerability in the `virFileChownFiles()` function. By planting a symbolic link within the `swtpm` state directory, the attacker could trick the root-level libvirt daemon into changing the ownership of an arbitrary file to the `swtpm` user. This allows for privilege escalation from the `swtpm` sandbox to root-level file ownership control.","modified":"2026-08-30T05:26:50Z","published":"2026-08-10T21:17:23Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-63622"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-63622"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libvirt","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/libvirt"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"10.10.0-2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-95616.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
