+	  <p>Various virStorageVol* API operate on user-supplied volume names by
+	    concatenating the volume name to the pool location. Note that the
+	    virStoragePoolListVolumes API, when used on a storage pool backed by
+	    a directory in a file system, will only list volumes immediately in
+	    that directory (there is no traversal into subdirectories). However,
+	    other APIs such as virStorageVolCreateXML were not checking if a
+	    potential volume name represented one of the volumes that could be
+	    returned by virStoragePoolListVolumes; because they were not rejecting
+	    the use of '/' in a volume name.</p>
+	  <p>Because no checking was done on volume names, a user could supply
+	    a potential volume name of something like '../../../etc/passwd' to
+	    attempt to access a file not belonging to the storage pool. When
+	    fine-grained Access Control Lists (ACL) are in effect, a user with
+	    storage_vol:create ACL permission but lacking domain:write permssion
+	    could thus abuse virStorageVolCreateXML and similar APIs to gain
+	    access to files not normally permitted to that user. Fortunately, it
+	    appears that the only APIs that could leak information or corrupt
+	    files require read-write connection to libvirtd; and when ACLs are not
+	    in use (the default without any further configuration), a user with
+	    read-write access can already be considered to have full access to the
+	    machine, and without an escalation of privilege there is no security
+	    problem.</p>
