NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xen package and not the xen package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The qemu guest agent in Qemu 1.4.1 and earlier, as used by Xen, when started in daemon mode, uses weak permissions for certain files, which allows local users to read and write to these files.
