Security Issues
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you think that an issue with libvirt may have security implications, **please
|
|
|
|
|
do not** publicly report it in the bug tracker, mailing lists, or irc. Libvirt
|
|
|
|
|
has `a dedicated process for handling (potential) security
|
|
|
|
|
issues <securityprocess.html>`__ that should be used instead. So if your issue
|
|
|
|
|
has security implications, ignore the rest of this page and follow the `security
|
|
|
|
|
process <securityprocess.html>`__ instead.
