U radu programskog paketa libvirt, za operacijski sustav Fedora 14, uočena su dva sigurnosna nedostatka. Riječ je o paketu koji omogućuje izvođenje različitih virtualnih rješenja, kao što su KVM (eng. Kernel-based Virtual Machine) i Xen, putem uobičajenih sučelja. Nedostaci su posljedica neodgovarajućeg ograničavanja operacija u datoteci "libvirt.c" te nepravilnosti koja se očituje prilikom prijavljivanja pogrešaka. Napadaču omogućuju izvođenje DoS napada ili pokretanje proizvoljnog programskog koda. Za više detalja se preporuča pregled originalne preporuke. Korisnike se potiče na nadogradnju.
