NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-python package and not the libvirt-python package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

libvirtd in libvirt before 0.9.0 does not use thread-safe error reporting, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by causing multiple threads to report errors at the same time.
