Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libvirt, worst of which
allows context-dependent attackers to escalate privileges.

Background
==========

libvirt is a C toolkit for manipulating virtual machines.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
