CVE-2014-3559
It was found that the oVirt storage back end did not wipe memory snapshots when VMs were deleted, even if wipe-after-delete (WAD) was enabled for the VM's disks. A remote attacker with credentials to create a new VM could use this flaw to potentially access the contents of memory snapshots in an uninitialized storage volume, possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.
