A use-after-free flaw was found in the way several libvirt block APIs handled domain jobs. 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 libvirtd process (usually root). (CVE-2013-6458)
A race condition was found in the way libvirtd handled keepalive initialization requests when the connection was closed prior to establishing connection credentials. An attacker able to establish a read- only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to crash libvirtd, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-1447)
This update also fixes the following bug :
After installing the updated packages, libvirtd will be restarted automatically.

This update also fixes the following bug :
- A race condition was possible between a thread starting
a virtual machine with a guest agent configured (regular
start-up or while migrating) and a thread that was
killing the VM process (or the process crashing). The
race could cause the monitor object to be freed by the
thread that killed the VM process, which was later
accessed by the thread that was attempting to start the
VM, resulting in a crash. This issue was fixed by
checking the state of the VM after the attempted
connection to the guest agent; if the VM in the meantime
exited, no other operations are attempted.
After installing the updated packages, libvirtd will be restarted
automatically."
