Description Vincent Danen 2013-08-29 17:05:43 UTC 
It was reported [1] that the parameters for the virDomainMigrate*Params RPC calls were not bounds checked, which meant that a malicious client could cause libvirtd to consume arbitrary memory.  This issue was introduced in libvirt 1.1.0 and has been corrected in git.

Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of libvirt as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 as they did not ship the vulnerable version.
