Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The libvirt library is a C API for managing and interacting with the virtualization capabilities of Linux and other operating systems. In addition, libvirt provides tools for remote management of virtualized systems. A flaw was found in the way libvirtd handled connection cleanup (when a connection was being closed) under certain error conditions. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to crash libvirtd or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the root user. (CVE-2013-0170) This issue was discovered by Tingting Zheng of Red Hat. All users of libvirt are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, libvirtd will be restarted automatically. Affected Software/OS: libvirt on CentOS 6 Solution: Please install the updated packages.
