There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 libvirt-python.

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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

libvirt before 2.0.0 improperly disables password checking when the password on a VNC server is set to an empty string, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and establish a VNC session by connecting to the server.
