      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      When trying to migrate a VM, it fails with the error:

      " qemu-kvm: check_section_footer: Read section footer failed: -5 "

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      RHVM:
      ovirt-engine-4.5.3.9-1.el8ev.noarch
      Hosts: (RHV-H - rhvh-4.5.3.1-0.20221117)
      kernel-4.18.0-372.32.1.el8_6.x86_64
      libvirt-8.0.0-5.5.module+el8.6.0+16828+96e76c36.x86_64
      python3-libvirt-8.0.0-1.1.module+el8.6.0+16381+3abc475c.x86_64
      qemu-img-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+16538+01ea313d.6.x86_64
      qemu-kvm-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+16538+01ea313d.6.x86_64
      vdsm-4.50.3.4-1.el8ev.x86_64

      How reproducible:

      Only seems to be affecting 3 VM's - others are migrating fine.

      Steps to reproduce

      For the 3 affected VM's:

      1. attempt to migrate VM
      2. note error in libvirt log

      Expected results

      VM should migrate as expected

      Actual results

      VM fails to migrate

      Additional Information

      Customer mentioned that the VM's have been restarted recently (ie stopped, and started on a different host), however the same issue still persists.

      I have seen this error previously in BZ#1889131 and BZ#1841382, however they should be fixed in this version.
