Not only did this fix the CVE, it made virt-login-shell completely
useless. :(

Is anyone actually using this program?

Adding some additional context:

    if ((nfdlist = virDomainLxcOpenNamespace(dom, &fdlist, 0)) < 0)
        goto cleanup;
...

and more context:

        if (nfdlist > 0) {
            if (virDomainLxcEnterNamespace(dom,
                                           nfdlist,
                                           fdlist,
                                           NULL,
                                           NULL,
                                           0) < 0)

Oops.  We just closed every fd larger than stderr, which means fdlist is
now useless, and virDomainLxcEnterNamespace is guaranteed to fail, which
means we are guaranteed to not switch namespaces.
