I'm not sure I parse this sentence, so I'll try to clarify what I said earlier.

Deployments with libvirt < 1.3.4 might still have the vulnerability even after the fix, but we don't know for sure because (1) Ubuntu 16.04 is the only platform which supports < 1.3.4 and (2) devstack pulls packages from the Ubuntu Cloud Archive which brings in libvirt 3.6.0 for Ubuntu 16.04. So it is difficult to create such a deployment for testing and based on this we assume ~nobody is using libvirt < 1.3.4.

This fix is only targeted and tested for libvirt >= 1.3.4. No guarantees for libvirt < 1.3.4.
