<h2><a id="security">Security Issues</a></h2>
<p>
If you think that an issue with libvirt may have security
implications, <strong>please do not</strong> publicly
report it in the bug tracker, mailing lists, or irc. Libvirt
has <a href="securityprocess.html">a dedicated process for handling (potential) security issues</a>
that should be used instead. So if your issue has security
implications, ignore the rest of this page and follow the
<a href="securityprocess.html">security process</a> instead.
