A security flaw was found in the way virt-edit tool of libguestfs, a
library for accessing and modifying guest disk images, performed file
editing in a virtual machine (new file was created, when original file
was used leading to loss of attributes likes file permissions, file
owner or SELinux context for the edited file). If certain sensitive
files were edited using virt-edit, they would become world-readable.
