Description

Update to 2011.3.1 release candidate. See https://launchpad.net/nova/+milestone/2011.3.1

This also includes a minor bug fix for libguestfs file injection

This update includes ~50 patches from the upstream stable branch and a fix for an issue with attaching volumes.

Sync up with Fedora spec, to only add fuse group if present.
Explicitly depend on the fuse package to avoid #767852. Requires manually installing 'fuse' first.

Also adds libguestfs update

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected openstack-nova package.
