Description Amit Shah 2011-10-13 16:27:30 UTC

Description of problem:

Please add this bit (possibly under a 'security' heading for the Virt Beat:

The qemu-kvm package has been compiled with full RELRO and PIE support which can help mitigate certain types of attacks.  Exploiting the host system or other VMs running on the same host is more difficult with these compilation options.
