AXSA:2011-500:01 advisory.

    Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images.
    Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration changes to guests, getting disk used/free
    statistics (see also: virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also: virt-p2v), performing
    partial backups, performing partial guest clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info,
    and much else besides.
    Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of guest filesystem that Linux and
    qemu can, including but not limited to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition
    schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk.
    Libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions, LVs, what filesystem is in each LV,
    etc.).  It can also run commands in the context of the guest.
    Libguestfs is a library that can be linked with C and C++ management programs.
    See also the 'guestfish' package for shell scripting and command line access, and 'libguestfs-mount' for
    mounting guest filesystems on the host using FUSE.
    For Perl bindings, see 'perl-Sys-Guestfs'.
    For OCaml bindings, see 'ocaml-libguestfs-devel'.
    For Python bindings, see 'python-libguestfs'.
    For Ruby bindings, see 'ruby-libguestfs'.
    For Java bindings, see 'libguestfs-java-devel'.
    Security issues fixed with this release
    CVE-2010-3851
    libguestfs before 1.5.23, as used in virt-v2v, virt-inspector 1.5.3 and earlier, and possibly other
    products, when a raw-format disk image is used, allows local guest OS administrators to read files from
    the host via a crafted (1) qcow2, (2) VMDK, or (3) VDI header, related to lack of support for a disk
    format specifier.
    This update also upgrades libguestfs to upstream version 1.7.17, which includes a number of bug fixes and
    enhancements, too many to list here. Please refer to the changelog.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
