File 8c3586ea-CVE-2013-4400.patch of Package libvirt.openSUSE_13.1_Update

commit 8c3586ea755c40d5e01b22cb7b5c1e668cdec994
Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 9 10:59:36 2013 +0100

    Only allow 'stderr' log output when running setuid (CVE-2013-4400)
    
    We must not allow file/syslog/journald log outputs when running
    setuid since they can be abused to do bad things. In particular
    the 'file' output can be used to overwrite files.
