Release of libvirt-10.7.0
by Jiri Denemark
The 10.7.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and
signed tarballs are available at
https://download.libvirt.org/
https://download.libvirt.org/python/
Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* Security
* CVE-2024-8235: Crash of ``virtinterfaced`` via ``virConnectListInterfaces()``
A refactor of the code fetching the list of interfaces for multiple APIs
introduced corner case on platforms where allocating 0 bytes of memory
results in a NULL pointer.
This corner case would lead to a NULL-pointer dereference and subsequent
crash of ``virtinterfaced`` if ``virConnectListInterfaces()`` is called
requesting 0 networks to be filled.
The bug was introduced in libvirt-10.4.0
* New features
* qemu: Introduce the ability to disable the built-in PS/2 controller
It is now possible to control the state of the ``ps2`` feature in the
domain XML for descendants of the generic PC machine type (``i440fx``,
``q35``, ``xenfv`` and ``isapc``).
* Improvements
* ch: support restore with network devices
Cloud-Hypervisor starting from V40.0 supports restoring file descriptor
backed network devices. So, create new net fds and pass them via
SCM_RIGHTS to CH during restore operation.
* ch: support basic networking modes
Cloud-Hypervisor driver now supports Ethernet, Network (NAT) and Bridge
networking modes.
Enjoy.
