CVE-2023-3750 was fixed in version 9.6.0
Fix race condition in storage driver leading to a crash
In **libvirt-8.3** a bug was introduced which in rare cases could cause
``libvirtd`` or ``virtstoraged`` to crash if multiple clients attempted to
look up a storage volume by key, path or target path, while other clients
attempted to access something from the same storage pool.

- Update from version 8.9.0 to 8.10.0
- Update of rootfile
- Changelog
v8.10.0 (2022-12-01)
**New features**
* Tool for validating SEV firmware boot measurement of QEMU VMs
The ``virt-qemu-sev-validate`` program will compare a reported SEV/SEV-ES
domain launch measurement, to a computed launch measurement. This
determines whether the domain has been tampered with during launch.
* Support for SGX EPC (enclave page cache)
Users can add a ``<memory model='sgx-epc'>`` device to lauch a VM with
``Intel Software Guard Extensions``.
* Support migration of vTPM state of QEMU vms on shared storage
Pass ``--migration`` option if appropriate in order for ``swtpm`` to
properly migrate on shared storage.
**Improvements**
* Mark close callback (un-)register API as high priority
High priority APIs use a separate thread pool thus can help in eliminating
problems with stuck VMs. Marking the close callback API as high priority
allows ``virsh`` to properly connect to the daemon in case the normal
priority workers are stuck allowing other high priority API usage.
* Updated x86 CPU features
The following features for the x86 platform were added:
``v-vmsave-vmload``, ``vgif``, ``avx512-vp2intersect``, ``avx512-fp16``,
``serialize``, ``tsx-ldtrk``, ``arch-lbr``, ``xfd``, ``intel-pt-lip``,
``avic``, ``sgx``, ``sgxlc``, ``sgx-exinfo``, ``sgx1``, ``sgx2``,
``sgx-debug``, ``sgx-mode64``, ``sgx-provisionkey``, ``sgx-tokenkey``,
``sgx-kss``, ``bus-lock-detect``, ``pks``, ``amx``.
* Add support for ``hv-avic`` Hyper-V enlightenment
``qemu-6.2`` introduced support for the ``hv-avic`` enlightenment which
allows to use Hyper-V SynIC with hardware APICv/AVIC enabled.
* qemu: Run memory preallocation with numa-pinned threads
Run the thread allocating memory in the proper NUMA node to reduce overhead.
* RPM packaging changes
- add optional dependancy of ``libvirt-daemon`` on ``libvirt-client``
The ``libvirt-guests.`` tool requires the ``virsh`` client to work
properly, but we don't want to require the installation of the daemon
if the tool is not used.
- relax required ``python3-libvirt`` version for ``libvirt-client-qemu``
The ``virt-qemu-qmp-proxy`` tool requires python but doesn't strictly
need the newest version. Remove the strict versioning requirement in
order to prevent cyclic dependency when building.
**Bug fixes**
* Skip initialization of ``cache`` capabilities if host doesn't support them
Hypervisor drivers would fail to initialize on ``aarch64`` hosts with
following error ::
virStateInitialize:657 : Initialisation of cloud-hypervisor state driver failed: no error
which prevented the startup of the daemon.
* Allow incoming connections to guests on routed networks w/firewalld
A change in handling of implicit rules in ``firewalld 1.0.0`` broke
incomming connections to VMs when using ``routed`` network. This is fixed
by adding a new ``libvirt-routed`` zone configured to once again allow
incoming sessions to guests on routed networks.
* Fix infinite loop in nodedev driver
Certain udev entries might be of a size that makes libudev emit EINVAL
which caused a busy loop burning CPU. Fix it by ignoring the return code.

This patch update the libvirt library to version 3.1.0
We can not update to the latest version in the moment because version
3.2.0 has a annoying bug.

This is the update of libvirt to the latest version 2.1.
The most important change from a packager view is the new virtlogd
daemon.
This daemon handles the qemu output and wrote it to log files.
The require some changes:
- A new init script to start, stop restart the daemon called virtlogd.
The daemon is restart with SIGUSR1 (this is important because the daemon
keeps all pipelines etc. open).
This introduces a problem with the uninstall.sh install.sh script.
It is not possible to stop the daemon while virtual machines are
running, so the script update.sh execute from now not uninstall.sh and
install.sh instead it contains all steps from uninstall.sh install.sh
expect the start / stop routine for virtlogd. The daemon is just
restarted after the update, which makes sure that all changes take
effect.
- new symlinks in the uninstall.sh and install.sh script and some root
file changes because of the new virtlogd init script.
- the archive format changes from tar.gz to tar.xz

The directory /etc/libvirt is backed up on uninstallation and is
restored on installation.
Alle Files in /var are commented in the rootfile so they are not
removed on uninstallation.
Because of the fact that the directories are not shipped with the
package they were created at installation time.
The permissions of 3 directories are changed because the qemu user is
nobody and the qemu group is kvm, so the permissions must be nobody:kvm
