Fix perms for virConnectDomainXML{To,From}Native (CVE-2013-4401)
The virConnectDomainXMLToNative API should require 'connect:write' not 'connect:read', since it will trigger execution of the QEMU binaries listed in the XML. Also make virConnectDomainXMLFromNative API require a full read-write connection and 'connect:write' permission. Although the current impl doesn't trigger execution of QEMU, we should not rely on that impl detail from an API permissioning POV. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit 57687fd6bf7f6e1b3662c52f3f26c06ab19dc96c)
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
