Verified with CNV v4.12.5-23 with the following cases:

1. In a 6 node cluster ( 3 master, 3 worker ), created a fedora VM.
2. Run must-gather
# oc adm must-gather --image=<image> -- /usr/bin/gather --vms_details
3. Check for the contents of ruletables.txt file
# cat must-gather.local.4129534662964224807/<image_name_in_registry>/namespaces/default/vms/fedora-x2mgi1jb1h3es5ia/virt-launcher-fedora-x2mgi1jb1h3es5ia-tshm2.ruletables.txt
table ip filter {
	chain INPUT {
		type filter hook input priority filter; policy accept;
	}

.....

The expected file is available and its has the right set of contents available.

Repeated the test by running the must-gather pod on the node where VM is running.
1. Find out the node, where the VM is running
2. Run must-gather with '--node-name=<node-where-vm-running>'
# oc adm must-gather --node-name=<node-name> --image=<image> -- /usr/bin/gather --vms_details
table ip filter {
	chain INPUT {
		type filter hook input priority filter; policy accept;
	}
The expected file is available and its has the right set of contents available.
