Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Glances versions before 4.5.5 are vulnerable to command injection through KVM/QEMU virtual machine domain names, which the vms plugin passes unsanitised into shell-style commands. An attacker who can create or rename a VM with libvirt privileges can run arbitrary commands as the user running Glances, often root on a hypervisor host. Upgrade the glances package to version 4.5.5 or later.
