AXSA:2009-33:01 advisory.

    Libvirt is a C toolkit to interract with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and
    other OSes).
    Fixed bugs:
    CVE-2008-5086
    Multiple methods in libvirt 0.3.2 through 0.5.1 do not check if a connection is read-only, which allows
    local users to bypass intended access restrictions and perform administrative actions.
    CVE-2009-0036
    Buffer overflow in the proxyReadClientSocket function in proxy/libvirt_proxy.c in libvirt_proxy 0.5.1
    might allow local users to gain privileges by sending a portion of the header of a virProxyPacket packet,
    and then sending the remainder of the packet with crafted values in the header, related to use of
    uninitialized memory in a validation check.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
