DSA-2650-2 libvirt -- files and device nodes ownership change to kvm groupID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:600994 | Date: (C)2013-03-19 (M)2022-10-10 |
Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
The recent security update for libvirt was found to cause a regression. The kvm/qemu processes weren"t run as the `kvm` user anymore in order to fix the file/device ownership changes, but the processes where not correctly configured to use the `kvm` group either. When the user would try to run a virtual machine, the process was denied access to the /dev/kvm device node, preventing the virtual machine to run.
