DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in libvirt, which can be exploited by
malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The weakness is caused due to libvirt incorrectly inserting certain
firewall rules, which can lead to unintended access to ports 53 and
67.
Successful exploitation requires that a libvirt network with "bridge"
forward mode is defined and started and that libvirtd is restarted.
The weakness is reported in version 0.9.4 through 0.9.8.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.9.9.
