The remote host is missing an update for the 'libguestfs' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. It was found that editing files with virt-edit left said files in a world-readable state. These updated libguestfs packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 Technical Notes for information on the most significant of these changes. Users of libguestfs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these issues and add these enhancements

  It was found that editing files with virt-edit left said files in a
  world-readable state (and did not preserve the file owner or
  Security-Enhanced Linux context). If an administrator on the host used
  virt-edit to edit a file inside a guest, the file would be left with
  world-readable permissions. This could lead to unprivileged guest users
  accessing files they would otherwise be unable to. (CVE-2012-2690)

  enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this
