Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0831-01 - 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 remote management of virtualized systems. It was found that libvirtd leaked file descriptors when listing all volumes for a particular pool. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to cause libvirtd to consume all available file descriptors, preventing other users from using libvirtd services until libvirtd is restarted.
