This does not cause a problem in usual scenarios thanks to us allowing
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE for the qemu process, however in some scenarios this might be
an issue because the directory is created with mkdtemp(3) which explicitly
creates that with 0700 permissions and qemu running as non-root cannot access
that.

The scenarios include:
 - Builds without CAPNG

This makes sense, since we're unable to give QEMU CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE

 - Running libvirtd in a container [1]

I'm rather puzzelled why this is a problem unless libvirtd itself
lacks permissions to give CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, but if that was the
case I would have expected an error from capng when trying to
grant it/.


That would make sense, but it clearly did not happen.  I'm not sure how that is
handled, maybe some other bug somewhere, maybe an obfuscating a cap detection, I
don't know.

 - and possibly others.
