The remote host is missing an update for the 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the USN-694-1 advisory. It was discovered that libvirt did not mark certain operations as read-only. A local attacker may be able to perform privileged actions such as migrating virtual machines, adjusting autostart flags, or accessing privileged data in the virtual machine memory and disks. Please install the updated package(s)
