Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2020-03-04 16:07:49 UTC 
From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1809740 :
A flaw was found in the way Libvirtd daemon issued the 'suspend' command to a
QEMU guest-agent running inside a guest. It holds a monitor job while issuing
the 'suspend' command to a guest-agent. A malicious guest-agent may use this
flaw to block the Libvirt daemon indefinitely resulting in a DoS scenario.
