+          qemu: Use CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE during QEMU capabilities probing
+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          By default, libvirt runs the QEMU process as <code>qemu:qemu</code>
+          which could cause issues during probing as some features like AMD SEV
+          might be inaccesible to QEMU because of file system permissions.
+          Therefore, <code>CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE</code> is granted to overcome these
+          for the purposes of probing.
