Please Install the Updated Packages.

The libvirt library is a C API for managing and interacting with the virtualization capabilities of Linux and other operating systems. In addition, libvirt provides tools for remotely managing virtualized systems. A flaw was found in the way libvirtd handled error reporting for concurrent connections. A remote attacker able to establish read-only connections to libvirtd on a server could use this flaw to crash libvirtd. (CVE-2011-1486) All libvirt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve this issue. After installing the updated packages, libvirtd must be restarted (&quot service libvirtd restart&quot ) for this update to take effect.
