Hi,
"It has been found that several libvirt API calls (virNodeDeviceDettach,
virNodeDeviceReset, virDomainRevertToSnapshot, virDomainSnapshotDelete) did not
honour read-only connection. Remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the
host server (DoS)."

Please use CVE-2011-1146 as a reference to this problem. Can you confirm if this 
affects to oldstable or stable?

Thanks, luciano
