NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libvirt-docs package and not the libvirt-docs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The virDomainGetXMLDesc API in Libvirt before 1.2.11 allows remote read-only users to obtain the VNC password by using the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag, which triggers the use of the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag.
