It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled symlinks when using the LXC driver. An attacker could possibly use this issue to delete host devices, create arbitrary nodes, and shutdown or power off the host. (CVE-2013-6456)
Marian Krcmarik discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled seamless SPICE migrations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2013-7336).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
