Please unblock package libvirt
since it fixes
* CVE-2013-0170
* a bug in the dependencies (#699128)
* Fixes a possible daemon crash with KVM (#699281)
* fixes a client deadlock (without a bugnumber)
The debdiff is attached. I tried to keep it as minimal as possible.
Cheers,

+Subject: qemu: Fix off-by-one error while unescaping monitor strings
+
+While unescaping the commands the commands passed through to the monitor
+function qemuMonitorUnescapeArg() initialized lenght of the input string
+to strlen()+1 which is fine for alloc but not for iteration of the
+string.
+
+This patch fixes the off-by-one error and drops the pointless check for
+a single trailing slash that is automaticaly handled by the default
+branch of switch.
+
+Closes: #699281

+Subject: Revert "rpc: Discard non-blocking calls only when necessary"
+
+This reverts commit b1e374a7ac56927cfe62435179bf0bba1e08b372, which was
+rather bad since I failed to consider all sides of the issue. The main
+things I didn't consider properly are:
+
+- a thread which sends a non-blocking call waits for the thread with
+ the buck to process the call
+- the code doesn't expect non-blocking calls to remain in the queue
+ unless they were already partially sent
+
+Thus, the reverted patch actually breaks more than what it fixes and
+clients (which may even be libvirtd during p2p migrations) will likely
+end up in a deadlock.

+Subject: rpc: Fix crash on error paths of message dispatching
+
+This patch resolves CVE-2013-0170:
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893450
+
+When reading and dispatching of a message failed the message was freed
+but wasn't removed from the message queue.
+
+After that when the connection was about to be closed the pointer for
+the message was still present in the queue and it was passed to
+virNetMessageFree which tried to call the callback function from an
+uninitialized pointer.
+
+This patch removes the message from the queue before it's freed.
