+ * virdevmapper: Don't use libdevmapper to obtain dependencies
+
+ When building domain's private ``/dev`` in a namespace, libdevmapper was
+ consulted for getting full dependency tree of domain's disks. However, this
+ meant that libdevmapper opened ``/dev/mapper/control`` which wasn't closed
+ and was leaked to QEMU. CVE-2020-14339
I see that these were pushed now, but I can't find them in the list. I
presume you went through libvirt-security for review. Please post them
to libvir-list anyways for future reference.
