The remote host is missing an update for the 'libvirt' package(s) announced via the USN-1954-1 advisory. It's discovered that libvirt used the pkcheck tool in an unsafe manner. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to bypass polkit authentication. It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled certain memory stats requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled certain bitmap operations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service
