Good morning,
Not sure if anyone else is using https://fedorahosted.org/virt-who/
It was reported that "/etc/sysconfig/virt-who" is world-readable and
contains plaintext passwords to connect to various hypervisors. A local
attacker could use this flaw to obtain those passwords and gain access
to the hypervisors. (CVE-2014-0189)
Red Hat would like to thank Sal Castiglione for reporting this issue.
Discussions about fixing the issue are ongoing:
