CWE Code: 295
Vulnerability Type: privilege_escalation
CVSS Score: 9.3
CWE Name:  Improper Certificate Validation
Summary: when libvirtd is configured by osp director (tripleo-heat-templates) to use the tls transport it defaults to the same certificate authority as all non-libvirtd services. as no additional authentication is configured this allows these services to connect to libvirtd (which is equivalent to root access). if a vulnerability exists in another service it could, combined with this flaw, be exploited to escalate privileges to gain control over compute nodes.
Access Authentication: NONE
Access Complexity: MEDIUM
Access Vector: NETWORK
Impact (C/I/A): COMPLETE/COMPLETE/COMPLETE
