Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2010-10960
2010-07-13 06:42:13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libvirt
Product : Fedora 13
Version : 0.8.2
Release : 1.fc13
URL :
http://libvirt.org/
Summary : Library providing a simple API virtualization
Description :
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). The main package includes
the libvirtd server exporting the virtualization support.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
A reboot is required to update the iptables rules for the default virtual
network to address the CVE-2010-2242 All disk format probing is now disabled
in a default installation of libvirt. This change may prevent KVM guests using
qcow2 disks from booting successfully. If this occurs verify that the guest
XML <disk> element has explicitly requested use of the qcow2 data format via the
<driver> element: <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> If the qcow2 is
using an external backing file, it may be necessary to re-create the qcow2 file,
explicitly specifying the backing store format with the '-o' option. qemu-
img create -f qcow2 -b master.qcow2 -o backing_fmt=qcow2 newdisk.qcow2 If
this is not possible, disk format probing can be re-enabled via
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf allow_disk_format_probing = 1 NB, enabling disk
format probing has security consequences as per the linked CVEs.
