NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt package and not the libvirt package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

libvirt 1.0.2 and earlier sets the group owner to kvm for device files, which allows local users to write to these files via unspecified vectors.
