It was possible to crash libguestfs (and programs that use libguestfs
as a library) by presenting a disk image containing a corrupt btrfs
volume.
This was caused by a NULL pointer dereference causing a denial of
service, and is not thought to be exploitable any further.
See commit d70ceb4cbea165c960710576efac5a5716055486 for the fix.
This fix is included in libguestfs stable branches S<E<ge> 1.26.0>,
S<E<ge> 1.24.6> and S<E<ge> 1.22.8>. Earlier versions of libguestfs
are not vulnerable.

Libvirt backend uses some funky C macros to generate XML. These are
