Martin Kletzander discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled reading memory tunables from LXC guests. A local user could possibly use this flaw to cause libvirtd to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2013-6436)

Dario Faggioli discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled the libxl driver. A local user could possibly use this flaw to cause libvirtd to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2013-6457)

It was discovered that libvirt contained multiple race conditions in block device handling. A remote read-only user could use this flaw to cause libvirtd to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2013-6458)

Eric Blake discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled certain ACLs.
An attacker could use this flaw to possibly obtain certain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2014-0028)

Jiri Denemark discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled keepalives.
A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause libvirtd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-1447).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
