From ${URL} : In at least the qemu implementation of virDomainGetXMLDesc, the use of the flag VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE (which is usable from a read-only connection) triggers the implicit use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE prior to calling qemuDomainFormatXML. However, the use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE is supposed to be restricted to read-write clients only. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to cause leak certain limited information from the domain xml file. Reference: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-November/msg00114.html @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
