libvirt-cim bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated libvirt-cim package that fixes one bug and adds two enhancements is
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libvirt-cim package contains a Common Information Model (CIM) provider based
on Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI). It supports most libvirt
virtualization features and allows management of multiple libvirt-based
platforms.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, libvirt-cim contained several defects for null
  variables. As a result, using null variables did not work as expected. This
  update resolves these defects and now null variables work as expected.
  (BZ#728245)
  

This update also adds the following enhancements:

• With this update, libvirt-cim supports libvirt networking Access Control Lists
  (ACL). (BZ#633337)
  
• This update aprovides read-only access to ensure that the remote CIM access
  cannot modify the system state. This is useful when CIM is used only for
  monitoring and other software is used for virtualization management. (BZ#712257)
  

All libvirt-cim users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug and adds these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
