    Package : libvirt
    Vulnerability : files and device nodes ownership change to kvm group
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: yes
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-1766
    Debian Bug : 701649

    The recent security update for libvirt was found to cause a regression.
    The kvm/qemu processes weren't run as the `kvm` user anymore in order to
    fix the file/device ownership changes, but the processes where not
    correctly configured to use the `kvm` group either. When the user would
    try to run a virtual machine, the process was denied access to the
    /dev/kvm device node, preventing the virtual machine to run.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.8.3-5+squeeze5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libvirt packages.
