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.
