Patches built into libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6_0.1
Comment 4 Johnny Liu 2010-12-21 10:39:55 UTC 
The following verification is done on RHEL6 host, not on VDSM environment.


On old libvirt version - libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6.x86_64:
# ls -ld /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/ /var/cache/libvirt/qemu/
drwxr-xr-x. 2 qemu qemu 4096 Dec 21 06:58 /var/cache/libvirt/qemu/
drwx------. 4 qemu qemu 4096 Dec 21 06:57 /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/

On latest libvirt version - libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6_0.2.x86_64:
# ls -ld /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/ /var/cache/libvirt/qemu/
drwxr-xr-x. 2 qemu qemu 4096 Dec 21 10:35 /var/cache/libvirt/qemu/
drwxr-x---. 4 qemu qemu 4096 Dec 21 10:34 /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/


So seem this bug is fixed on libvirt.
