CVE-2010-3851
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.7)—
libguestfs before 1.5.23, as used in virt-v2v, virt-inspector 1.5.3 and earlier, and possibly other products, when a raw-format disk image is used, allows local guest OS administrators to read files from the host via a crafted (1) qcow2, (2) VMDK, or (3) VDI header, related to lack of support for a disk format specifier.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 4.7
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.37%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 29
- Score date: 10/9/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
