A new libvirt vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:



Ubuntu Security Notice USN-694-1 December 18, 2008
libvirt vulnerability
CVE-2008-5086
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 7.10:
libvirt0 0.3.0-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libvirt0 0.4.0-2ubuntu8.1

Ubuntu 8.10:
libvirt0 0.4.4-3ubuntu3.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that libvirt did not mark certain operations as read-only. A
local attacker may be able to perform privileged actions such as migrating
virtual machines, adjusting autostart flags, or accessing privileged data in
the virtual machine memory and disks.
