Comment 2 Kurt Seifried 2015-08-19 22:52:02 UTC 
not sure if this is going into 3.4.5.1 or 3.5.5, either way 3.4.5 is still not out so it's a moot point right now.

Comment 4 Kurt Seifried 2015-08-22 02:24:42 UTC 
The libvirt side of this is not a security issue, but the libvirt interaction with vdsm is a problem.
Comment 5 Jaroslav Suchanek 2015-08-25 13:42:12 UTC 
As for the libvirt side, all patches fixing the issue are already upstream and backported in the 7.1.z counterpart (bug 1255859).

Please advice how we should proceed. Is it possible to release the fix in the next z-stream batch release (end of 2015-09)?

That's fine by me, I have no real say over what happens with non security bugs though, but obviously would appreciate this being fixed sooner rather than later.
Comment 7 Fabian Deutsch 2015-10-06 17:43:06 UTC 
Michal, do you know if any additional patches from the vdsm side are required to fix this?
Comment 8 Michal Skrivanek 2015-10-09 10:37:31 UTC 
no, just "Requires:" done in https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/46214/ (corresponding bug 1262783)
Comment 9 Kurt Seifried 2015-12-23 04:14:49 UTC 
Statement:

This issue was fixed in RHSA-2015-2527 (https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2015-2527.html) in the rhev-hypervisor package.
