The libguestfs packages contain a library, which is used for accessing and modifying virtual machine (VM) disk images.

Security Fix(es):

  • An integer conversion flaw was found in the way OCaml’s String handled its length. Certain operations on an excessively long String could trigger a buffer overflow or result in an information leak. (CVE-2015-8869)

Note: The libguestfs packages in this advisory were rebuilt with a fixed version of OCaml to address this issue.
