-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-17267 2011-12-22 21:43:19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libvirt Product : Fedora 16 Version : 0.9.6 Release : 4.fc16 URL : http://libvirt.org/ Summary : Library providing a simple virtualization API Description : Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). The main package includes the libvirtd server exporting the virtualization support. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This release of libvirt fixes a minor security problem with extraneous iptables rules being added when an externally managed network (new feature in 0.9.4) exists, along with several bugfixes. Another important change in this release is code to automatically convert guest definitions containing the deprecated "fedora-13" machine type over to "pc-0.14" - support for the "fedora-13" machine type will be removed from qemu in Fedora 17, so all guests will need to be reconfigured before that time; the code in this update handles the reconfiguration automatically. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Dec 19 2011 Laine Stump <[email protected]> - 0.9.6-4 - replace "fedora-13" machine type with "pc-0.14" to prepare systems for removal of "fedora-13" from qemu - Bug 754772 - don't add iptables rules for externally managed networks - Buf 765964 / CVE-2011-4600 - specfile changes - Bug 761329 don't use chkconfig --list - Bug 758896 mark directories in /var/run as ghosts - Bug 738725 fix logic bug in deciding to turn on cgconfig - Bug 754909 add dmidecode as a prerequisite - new async-safe time API + make logging async signal sage wrt. time stamp generation - Bug 757382 (this required enabling autoconf during the build) * Tue Oct 11 2011 Dan Horák <dan[at]danny.cz> - 0.9.6-3 - xenlight available only on Xen arches (#745020) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #754772 - Convert all uses of "fedora-13" machine type into "pc-0.14" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754772 [ 2 ] Bug #766104 - CVE-2011-4600 libvirt: unintended firewall port exposure after restarting libvirtd when defining a bridged forward-mode network [fedora-16] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766104 [ 3 ] Bug #761329 - should use systemctl instead of chkconfig --list https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=761329 [ 4 ] Bug #758896 - Please Update Spec File to use %ghost on files in /var/run and /var/lock https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=758896 [ 5 ] Bug #757382 - libvirt occasionally has a failure and is non-operational afterwards https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757382 [ 6 ] Bug #738725 - installing libvirt issues warnings due to outdated spec file %postinstalls https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738725 [ 7 ] Bug #754909 - libvirt: Failed to find path for dmidecode binary https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754909 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
