NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-client package and not the libvirt-client package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

libvirt, possibly before 0.9.12, does not properly assign USB devices to virtual machines when multiple devices have the same vendor and product ID, which might cause the wrong device to be associated with a guest and might allow local users to access unintended USB devices.
