Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. Double free vulnerability in the qemuAgentGetVCPUs function in qemu/qemu_agent.c in libvirt 1.0.6 through 1.1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a cpu count request, as demonstrated by the "virsh vcpucount dom --guest" command.
